memento s steadfast head-honcho idirss d is back on his own label with -shams-, a maxi-single with two cuts of pure sonic bliss, finely embellished with soul and dedication for his personal d.i.b series. “shams” is an overwhelming dancefloor tune that expands on a flangered sequence, crackling arpeggios, an uplifting galactic pad, shredded male hooks and finally an esoteric slice of a female lyric. “piramide” is a fast technotic ride over an hypnotic tribal chant. a fat saturated bass drum and crispy claps open the way to an highly resonant synthetic lead that spins around itself over and over again, submerging and resurfacing with furious snares and rapid hi-hats. the two sides of the record entirely disclose idriss sharpened club sense and his superb taste for graceful arrangements.

memento records honcho idriss d is back on his own dib sublabel with * khomsa* a 3 tracks banger with a steady pace and a fresh sound, blending together house chords and rhythms with techno bleeps and structures. “khomsa” is a peak time dance floor anthem focused slowly built up by shuffled grooves and bouncing synthesised drums. “watching my self” is darker, faster and relentless, while “stability” is a fine crafted esoteric percussive trave into outer space

after more than 10 years in the game and a string of successful eps to his name, idriss d releases his first proper album on his own memento records. at first conceived as a succession of singles for his “dib 00” series (the first two being constantine and alger), the project then became more of a collection of dance floor tracks influenced by what he likes to play in his dj sets.

the original opens with a field recording intro followed shortly after by heavy bass shots and a pulsating kick drum. snare patterns and an underwater synth melody hit the speakers with an abstract touch, while halfway through the pace changes with a new bass coming in. an experimental and brave track, it reflects idriss djing style and his long sets, going into different mental spaces, a wavelike combination of beats and up&down rhythms. eduardo de la calle s trademark analog sounds fill his tribute remix with acid keyboards, rim shot grooves, industrial noises and metallic vibes, swinging with a rolling bass line and bringing the original percussions to the fore.

after his highly acclaimed sunset in kreuzberg ep, dib001 shifts gears and goes straight into techno mode: constantine is a steady number, its acid bass line slugging around a dark lfo pulse and punching snares. piano chords slow down the pace here and there, adding a dreamy touch to the mood. on remix duties, idriss drafts in gaetano parisio, the godfather of the italian techno scene: his track has a more percussive feel, with a classy swinging rhythm that takes over the original groove.

label boss idriss d makes his comeback on memento with sunset in kreuzberg, a vicious and sexy track that captures the magic and the passion of his dj sets and the energy he shares with his faithful crowds all over the world. after releasing cross my mind to enthusiastic reviews - it was charted
