remain records 008 is all about the man behind the brand. in a string of excellent releases, axel karakasis signs the raw level ep, which boasts three exceptional tracks from the greek wild-child.

ultimately affected by this summer, remain records 007: cool water e.p. by axel karakasis aims at keeping the vibes high for the new season. this year has been exceptionally good for axel and remain records, so this release is more of a celebration signalling the third year of the label, which grows stronger by the day!this 3 track e.p. opens up with orisha on the main side, a spot on tune with a straight kick and minimal techno elements that gradually build up to embrace the main character sample. at its peak, the track makes an inspired transition into funky, laidback groove, where axel works mostly present day sounds with 90s intelligence! the second track on the side is a far cry from orisha, as let it roll does exactly that: it rolls! bassheavy throughout, it s an insane piece of work with smart cuts that give way to teasing loopy layers. this track is a burner for serious techno players!the title track on the remain side begins as a mishmash of dub groove, and a rolling bassline. midway, cool water has an extended cut that builds up with relentless sirens and its menacing bassline that seem endless. in a word: flawless!

remain 006, kudos e.p., is a 2 tracker treat coming from two artists that have become an irresistible duo to any techno dj out there. remain records proudly welcomes the advent, one of the front runners of techno, and his partner in crime, industrialyzer. their collaboration is one of the hottest things around and their work is in constant demand. apart from releasing their tracks in their respective labels, kombination research and codeworks, the advent and industrialyzer have had successful releases in labels, including drumcode, bush records, mb elektronics and many more.
on the main side, focuspocus is a pure anthem that is totally unpredictable! it is guaranteed to be the track of choice for the springsummer season and for a long time from now! a brilliantly solid track with evocative melodies spread throughout, utterly powerful cuts and kicks and absolutely dreamy loops that will get dancefloors on fire!the title track, kudos, on the remain side is equally powerful, yet so different.. a highly rhythmic track that keeps escalating until it reaches the.. boiling point! as you get into it, it becomes cheeky and playful with some ingenious pointcuts that leave you stunned for a single second until the next wave of radio-rich sounds and percussion mixture hits back! nuff said. enjoy!

axel karakasis once more unleashes his talents and demonstrates his skills in the piranha e.p. in the first track on the main side, the techno wizkid mightily combines a set of systemshaking loops and detroitfunklike piano keys that escalate into a crazy pitching, distortion not to be messed with! add to these some powerful percussion and ominus snares, together with karakasis trademark filter spins and twists and its an epic track that stands out on its own. bloody chamber alternates between nocturnal basslines, vicious subbass and high-pitched synths that are spinetingling. here, axel flirts with electro but you can always rely on him to bring in some serious groove: the result is solid, coherent and the track is something more than special!! the remain side proves equally mindblowing and. flesh eating! piranha is a stunner, adorned with aggressive drums, booming beats and odd sounds throughout the track. once again, it is axels energetic style that comes through, making this track a powerful club tool

remain 04 sees the return of the top belgian producer team, marco bailey and tom hades. the title track meteorite on the main side is certainly a sumptuous gem, accompanied by an impressive remix by deg and ployd on the remain side

axel karakasis is the main man in the groovy techno scene these days. with numerous releases on upfront labels like patterns, yin yang, omega, techhead, adult and many more he is building his impressive discography. the funky greek decided to keep the best tracks for his own imprint remain. 3 solid rocking technobombs is what to except. rolling like a train on full speed. no stops, just full speed all the way.. try to keep standing still on this bomb!

excellent second release on remain.. further support comes from the advent & wehbba
