partition, appropriately produced by label owner deepak sharma is gritty and raw, centered on being a powerfully effective dj tool. it symbolizes a nod to the label s past and longevity but more so signals the future territory and modern world the imprint will reside in. to commemorate the memorable occasion, one of techno s most authoritative, important and reputable producers, developer of modularz distinction has provided two heavy-duty remixes. additionally, label staple yuuki sakai delivers an extraordinary remix to round out a historic release from hidden recordings.

it is wise to take time and effort to organize the experiment properly to ensure that the right type of data, and enough of it, is available to answer the questions of interest as clearly and efficiently as possible. an experiment deliberately imposes a treatment on a group of objects or subjects in the interest of observing the response. a control group is used as a baseline measure. the control group is identical to all other items or subjects that you are examining with the exception that it does not receive the treatment or the experimental manipulation that the treatment group receives. an experiment that yields clear and systematic differences among the results of the test takers is biased. treatment vs control by deepak sharma uses extended tracks, story-telling techno to elicit a unique response through direct brute force and indirect dramatic soundscapes.

label boss, deepak sharma deliver a three-track gem on his solo debut for his imprint, hidden recordings. within annapurna lies his varied interpretations of techno vividly on display, all unique in their own ways but with a consistent, underlying gritty tone the label is famed for. he protects his house, and makes a bold statement as a soloist. from dj to curator of hidden recordings, deepak sharma has been entrenched in techno for over a decade. as the selector for hidden recordings, he began to expand the reach of his soundscape in order to appreciate all music, particularly techno. through these experiences, he had a moment where he started hearing sounds differently, and since then has been on a journey to make that sound. he s authentic to the mood and what feels right, combining raw, hypnotic rhythms that lay a foundation for an industrial monochrome minimalism with flashes of bright color while others fall deeper within the moody, darker abyss.

a hidden recordings mainstay, jc laurent’s once again combines his admiration and respect for detroit’s gritty past with a modern touch that makes his techno / house sound all his own. previously on the label, he released “from nice to berlin” with a remix from the legendary fred p. aka black jazz consortium as well as “southside” with a remix from uk’s tom dicicco (the corner, run out run). handling important remix duties is michigan native myles sergé. first introduced to techno in the late 80’s and described as a ‘reclusive perfectionist’, his haunting productions reflect influences from early detroit / chicago electronic music.

hidden recordings delivers another unique sounding and memorable four-track vinyl. yuuki sakai’s “ran tan” ep is unlimited in distinctive sounds, energy and vibe. these tracks are rare, like no other combining experimental design with controlled and well-thought out drumming. test your limits, teetering on the edge of madness as you try to decipher the dancefloor etiquette for each of these! complimenting the release is a rare and wonderfully percussive-full remix from the undeniable a mochi. a well established and respected techno vet who’s been deep in the tokyo underground for over a decade.

following up his debut on the label, jc laurent successfully returns with this memorbable four tracker, “southside” ep. using his influences from deep within berlin and detroit, he resumes where he left off, continually blurring the lines between techno and house with an uncanny ability to make it look easy.

a staple within the techno / house community, hidden recordings continues to grow it’s well-respected legacy of pushing sonic boundaries with consistent and carefully curated release after release. the 32nd release (27th vinyl) release from the forward thinking nyc based imprint features another newly discovered talent to many, french producer flex with a beautifully brutal yet simplistic original named ‘black terra’. the b side features a rare remix from one of techno’s most respected and leading shining lights, truncate. respect! a colossal monster of a release, hidden recordings is excited to share these sounds with you.

wolkenreise finds the duo moving away from the dark, peak hour techno to a gentler sound that flirts with emotive deep house for something classy and inspired. the track offers here is built on a raw, unhurried kick. all important contrast comes from the dry, echoing claps (which cut gorgeously through the bass clouds like, well, thunder) at unexpected intervals, a distant, longing and muted organ line (i think) and some heavy hearted synths. it’s melancholic but optimistic, and has a certain classiness to it which i really dig.” -teshno, january 2011. these are just some of the words that have many saying wolkenreise is the single of year so far with massive global support from all over the world including seth troxler, laurent garnier, craig richards and alexi delano to name a few. glistening and glowing remixes are created by the brilliant minds of john tejada, dj qu and rene breitbarth to offer up a vinyl that is timeless
