berlin native florian kruse has been a key part of the underground house and tech house scene for years now, and his productions have rightfully been bringing him plaudits for their emotional maturity. finding a kindred spirit in german vocalist hendrik burkhard, as theground the pair have crafted a killer new album - dediction, including these four exceptional tracks that will appear on the vinyl edition dediction ep. homeless hearts exemplifies the duo’s effect on each other - the slick, nuanced and spacy production gives way to a powerful groove, providing the perfect backing for burkhards dreamy vocal. undercover is a clear dance-floor killer, with kruses exceptional flair for programming meeting burkhard’s understated delivery. co-written by raphael hofmann silence explores some melancholic terrain before finding its way back to the floor via kruses & burkhards lush production. the ep is concluded with creature - featuring a thick growling bass and precise, arpeggiated synth lines that cut through the mix like lasers.

the title track reveals a deeper and more contemplative mood for 2014, with a pensive piano loop, a dark-toned deep house swing, and a vocal sample that speaks to the experiences of the disenfranchised. chris lattner s remix of the same provides a punchier and more dramatic rhythm track for maximum impact and a more urgent effect. b-side production -morning poem- harnesses the power spoken dialogue again, with a big flter of distortion, and wispy, whirring deep tech sounds tha testablish a late night feel.

we welcome a newcomer to the audiomatique roster as talented brazilian producer wehbba comes to the fore with the glorious >3days<. wehbba has explored many zones of the tech-house genre and now brings his expertly polished beats to steve bugs pioneering label. the groovy, sample-laden beats of >3days< are a tribute to that very special 60s festival of fun and music.

one of the leading figures in the modern house and techno movement, patrick chardronnet returns to audiomatique with another surefire weapon for the summer. >pleasant day< is perfect for the open air season, yet contrary to what its title suggests, its a dark, funky and freaky tune that carries many trademarks of the audiomatique sound. liquid synths and acidic bass fused with modern drums are all precision engineered to the super high quality level youd expect from chardronnet. the lush and divinely deep >aim< takes us further into the sound capabilities of this seasoned studio hand. fluttering, tropical moods soar through colourful layers of dubbed synth textures and strong, surging bass

dutch producer van dongen arrives back on audiomatique - almost 5 years since his first outing - hate to say o.k in 2006 - we welcome back his tough, refined and urgent electronic stylings. vulcanic ass gets straight to the point with a gyrating, cyclic attitude that simply cannot be ignored. bouncing bass, sharp drums and an anthemic pitching synth theme provide a blissful yet party-assured climax! barcelona boys audiofly hand in a dynamic and inventive remix that fuses live drum loops with drier, more resolute moments than the original. carefully engineered and executed, its a modern incarnation of the the duos earlier tech-house sound.

cult swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist tiger stripes arrives on audiomatique with this incredible new three track ep. a monstrous lesson in modern minimalism, ah-64 pumps with a dark yet funky inner power thats felt even stronger after the sinister string laden break. slow building and totally infectious this trippy late-nighter is built for the big rooms and will have you reaching for the lasers in no time. on a slightly lighter tip, how we feel warms us with funky, energetic percussion in a modern and positive tech-house jam. with smooth future house keys and plenty of details its a straight forward floor burner. back to detroit city takes us right there, deep, dubbed and melodic this retrospective workout features delicate melodies laden above yet more warm, powerful and driving beats. continuing, elongating and drifting, its a perfect conclusion to the ep.

maetrik has enjoyed some hot releases of late, with heavy work released on dumb- unit, mothership and resopal schallware. now this big talent comes again on audiomatique with a three track arsenal of audiomind games. marinda, featuring sabb, throws us right into the current maetrik sound with freaky vocal lines and solid nu-house vibes underpinning the hotndirty bassline!

tigerskin aka alex kruger is certainly one of the most prolific artists releasing electronic music these days. his tigerskin alias has released music on a plethora of respected platforms, far and wide across the spectrum of electronic music labels. now we happily welcome him to audiomatique, steve bugs imprint designed to support the techier, more intense end of his eclectic love of house and techno.

already played by steve bug!! maetrik heads up the next audiomatique 12inch with the stunning >underrate dis< ep. well known for his great work on labels like mothership or dumb unit the man from valencia continues to grow from strength to strength with this storming three tracker. melting house, techno and sinister, super funky elements into a truly unique and unmissable package, theres sheer talent on display in unearthly amounts!

yc‘s adultnapper has built a reputation for himself that not only commands respect for his highly evolved production skills, but also for his unique musical visions that steer him down his own unique path. not interested in following the current pop-trends, adultnapper turns in a freaky two tracker using a sharp, modular and timeless electronic sound palette. ‚almost nothing‘ is a complex and reduced spacer that features wonderfully processed drums and endless tweaked out studio trickery. haunting smatterings of melody, synth texture and paranoid-funky vocals drop in and out of the mix as this deep acidic groover charms you from the inside. poker flat regular patrick chardronnet provides a wicked remix that begins along the same reduced, textural tip as the original, yet builds into a breathtaking organ led harmonic climax. dramatic, uplifting and main-room friendly chardronnet‘s remix opens up the spectrum once again as audiomatique continues to surprise. ‚white fingers black hair‘ is the b side jam from adultnapper. a skipping, similarly complex and meandering groove is jacked up with some dirty hats and a playful synth theme that revolves around the track, amongst building strings and gated snares as its freaky climax is unveiled. super, off the wall stuff from nyc‘s chief mindwaper himself

hamburg‘s very own stimming arrives on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut audiomatique with the wonderful ‚buxton pipes‘ ep. with releases on diynamic, freerange, terminal m and liebe*detail martin stimming‘s carreer was boosted by the underground hit „una pena“ last year and peaked in his debut album ‚refl ections‘ earlier this year. ‚buxton pipes‘, the lead track on the new ep, is a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combines textural, shifting fi ltered percussion, phasing, effected melodies and a rich sub-room sound design that confi rms stimming‘s talents at working those subliminal zones. dainty, pretty and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, its a genuine slice of ultra modern micro-post-minimal- house. continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, ‚kakusei‘ arrives with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory its another stellar addition to the record. finally the skipping ‚seepferdchen‘ throws a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. super funky, ultimately reduced and sample-heavy it‘ll make those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. simply superb work from stimming on audiomatique. tracklisting: a: boxton pipes b1: kakusei b2: seepferdchen

already a mainstay in the scene with admired releases on brother label poker flat, and of course connaisseur, patrick chardronnet returns with a wonderful 2 track ep on audiomatique. a delightfully trippy, post-minimal adventure, ‚piper‘ raises the brow for chardronnet, dropping the big room synths this time in favour of a very organic, low-slung addictive groove. sparse, tricky percussion underpins the headsdown late night vibe, as a drifting ensemble of mystic vocals and haunting horns unfolds over 11 minutes. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply spaced, this reduced-percussive foray explores chardronnet‘s more hypnotic side... a priceless cut of of hybrid house from a modern master. on the b side the driving, textural chimes of ‚dropout‘ ensnare the listener into another beautiful and mysterious world. solid-state, bass-led percussion and crisply-cut percussive fx remain subdued whilst an epic, swirling synth landscape weaves its dreamy tale. suggesting moments of real drama, yet all the while maintaining an addictive, slow burning vibe, its a an amazing journey into this producer‘s remarkable, inimitable sonic world.

umek brings us three tracks full of funk, attitude and substance!

after some very well received releases for the likes of renaissance and kickboxer records, stephan hinz, who has also turned out some hot tracks alongside martin eyerer, presents >bacala<. its a cheekily warped excursion into hinz‘s deep and melancholic dancefloor world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! tight, familiar percussion works the groove, building towards a dramatic break which introduces more layers of synthesised wonder! check this in the main room for maximum effect. audiomatique key player adultnappers remix comes on strong, with a tougher drive and a slightly more freaked out vibe. trademark hissing percussion works over a finely tuned minimal groove, eventually allowing that haunting melody to show its colours. designed for the more freaky floors, yet still focused on melody and progression, its another great example of adultnappers remixing skills

'let it go (dont worry)' comes in that clear and crisp jussi-pekka style, but with the fine acid synths and a punching kick drum it's maybe a bit more impulsive and punchy than his previous works. we're entering deeper territories on the flipside.
