Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Donnacha Costello

remixes by lawrence and kink & neville watson from two tracks taken from the currently released album >before we say goodbye< following the beautiful and outstanding achievement that was donnacha costellos >before we say goodbye<, an album so rich in heartfelt musical messages and true vintage synthesis, we present remixes courtesy of highly respected producers lawrence and kink & neville watson.

there are few artists these days who consistently succeed to focus their passions, talents and instincts into deliciously individual, melancholic, beautiful and timeless recordings. irish born donnacha costello is amongst the highest ranks of such artists. poker flat is proud to announce donnacha costellos new full length album, >before we say goodbye<. echoes of chicago house, detroit techno, and uk ambient techno flow through its futuristic core, as we find donnacha exploring further his love for deep, hypnotising grooves, rich synth themes and emotive harmonies. this vinyl version features four cuts taken from the long-player.

after recent successes on his other label, donnacha costello returns to his look long imprint with the storming one sided monster that is ten thousand hours. to begin, an ominous, growling, analog siren calls out from costellos roland sh-101, alerting us that our presence is required on the dancefloor before rattling, shuffling hi-hats mark out the groove and we head out on an ecstatic 7 minute analogue journey through a universe inhabited by wispy shadows of s-express, 808 state, mathew jonson and costellos own classic colorseries sound. words dont do justice to this one. simply drop the needle on the record and escape to an alternate universe on a magic carpet of analog synths and drum machines. ten thousand hours appears as a very limited one sided vinyl edition and wont be re-pressed. dont sleep

as costello continues to look long, the grooves continue to flow. lng3 sees the reissue of the deep house classic pleite which originally appeared on trapez in 2003. recorded in dublin in 2002, this version has been mastered at dubplates and mastering, berlin in 2009. the results are stunning and serve as a welcome reminder of costelloÆs deep roots. pleite (costello dub) in particular could teach some of todayÆs hyperactive producers a thing or two about setting up a solid groove and letting it sit. the timing of this reissue could not be more perfect with regard to the current musical zeitgeist. the title, a german colloquialism for broke or indeed bankrupt which was an in-joke at the time of the original release, takes on a new significance in the context of global economic recession.

donnacha costello returns with another release for his new label and platform, look long. the tragedy of the commons sees him continuing his mission to create work of lasting quality and beauty. gatsby has that most rare and ephemeral quality, that certain something not easily defined. work which is at once both raw and full of subtlety. something which is at once both instantly familiar and yet inescapably new. fathoms deep pulls the listener in with each rotation until we are so thoroughly hypnotised we cannot but surrender to its insistent, organic pulse. baritoneÆs melancholy lo-fi guitars and roland 606 drums wrap around us like a warm blanket on a cold night. a private oasis, a moment of comfort in a lonely city before the body gives in to sleep. this is no throwaway music. this is music to keep, to live with, to grow with. this is music in which comfort can be sought and solace found

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks

continuing the spectacle that is the poker flat tournament series, we present two more surefire lessons in dancefloor mechanics. after his last storming >zeitgeist e.p< for poker flat, londons very own dark knight raudive aka oliver ho has crafted a powerfully hypnotic club tool that truly exists within its own world of unique and unmistakable sound. carefully executed beats roll forward as an astounding landscape of colourful vocal suggestions and emotions swirl and evolve. its a heady, uncompromising track that certainly stands out as its own, but could complement many different dj situations, from driving peak time sets, to free-flowing after-hours sessions… heading up the opposition for looks set to be a fine tournament indeed, minimise head-honcho and continual key-player donnacha costello brings things down and dirty with his unforgiving and foreboding >i must be going<. a catchy proto-acidic bass line snakes a winding path through a dense atmosphere of late-night paranoia. perfectly crafted beats push the energy along with a casual swagger, whilst the pleasingly tripped out vocal undertones leave the imagination to run wild

nach 10-monatiger pause ist der irische farbspezialist zurück an seinen maschinen & präsentiert euphorischen techno, der sich der emotionalen kraft der musik widmet. dazu gibt es einen wunderschönen ambient track der uns daran erinnert, dass musik nicht komplex sein muss um schön zu sein

teil 1 eines minimise 3-teilers der als schöne sammler box endet. soundtechnisch klingt es nach einem hyperaktiven kind eines flotten dreier s zwischen studio 1, richie hawtin s >concept< und dem neuen donnacha costello

einseitig, rot, limitiert ! die neue minimise mit troy pierce remix. von führenden anlageberatern empfohlen

manchmal meint man ja. 'jetzt ist schluss, besser kriegt er das nicht mehr hin.' aber nicht mit donnacha - der schwebt gerade ueber allen dingen und haut einen hit nach den anderen raus

rein wie wodka. romantisch, verzückt entführt uns donnacha durch den september im november

brill minimal tech tracks ...timeless

der direkteste release seit der minimise 07. mit direktem draht zu plus8, frühem 90er trance und sogar zu giorgio moroders hi-energy !

flächen, bleeps, zischende 303s & eine bassline tiefer als der grand canyon. zusammen geschloßen zu einer hartnäckigen maschine die einfach vorwärts stampft und die zukunft hinter sich läßt

laßt euch nicht verwirren, die labelnummer stimmt. diesmal ohne farbskala, aber mit klassischen synthies, breiten flächen & der schönen erinnerung an alte zeiten. der geilste modern-retro den es seit langem gab

der super-Ästhet wirft einen relaxten blick auf den amerikanischen acid sound der frühen 90er.

farbskalen freund donnacha groovt sich ein. lässiger chicago sound mit früh-neunzigern sheffield bleep einflüßen eingebettet in eine acid decke. großes werk !

donnacha, unser mann für`s frühjahr, gleitet auf tiefen techno-chordwogen durch die welt. top funktionale minimal-dub entwürfe im basic channel style mit druckvollem arrangement.

focusing on a rich blueprint, with echoes of chicago house, detroit techno, and uk ambient techno flowing through its futuristic core, donnacha explores further his love for deep, hypnotising grooves, rich synth themes and emotive harmonies. colour in sound, space and clarity are at the centre of the wonderful production found in every track.

nice price deal !!! early support by ashley beedle, danny howells, laurent garnier ...
>transist< is the closing track from corrugated tunnels critically-acclaimed third album >minor obsessions<, released on process recordings late last year. it will now be released as the third single from the album, with remixes by two prominent irish dj/producers.
first up is minimise label founder and owner donnacha costello, delivering a completely reworked track that transcends genres from techno to deep house. chymera, who has been very prolific in 2010 with releases on prestigious labels such as cocoon and connaisseur, stays closer to the original but moves it more into dancefloor territory.

mit >collaboratory< kommt bugs erstes neues album heraus seit 2002. aesthetisch und lebendig kommt jeder dieser tracks mit warmen und erfrischenden sounds daher, sodaß wir nun wissen, was wir die ganze zeit vermißt haben! featuring cassy, cle, donnacha costello & gigi...

the latest release from persistencebit headquarters, comes with a killer single-sided, single-track ep, serving the brilliant donnacha costello remix of >cobra< by rolf and fonky (italian djs and producers mirco uguccioni and maurizio ottavi). and donnacha does it again, what he does best – delivering strong low-riding techno grooves. costello, who is no stranger to the electronic music world, with his sought after releases on mille plateaux, releases on kompakt & his colour series on his own minimise imprint, brings as fine echoing claps over a steam-driven shuffle move, letting the intensity escalates when a house feel seeps into the tracks hammering pulse, after which a gradual wind-down brings the lights down to help ease the hooded snake to sleep on this remix. the track is a pure dance floor sweeper in full effect, cut and mastered for optimal dj friendly use

nach einer längeren pause kehrt minimise mit den waffenbrüdern broom & costello zurück in den hafen des geschmeidigen chicago-house-raves. sehr empfohlen..

schon das original ist ein kracher !! der donnacha costello mix kommt super spooky hypnotisch daher !!!

das verspricht ein hit zu werden. freestyle man, donnacha costello & die dirt crew im live mix pumpen das original kräftig auf
