fourth outing from the highly-reputed spatial, and at this point in proceedings the mans work should need no further introduction to the many listeners already up on his sound ? and yet, these fresh productions ? >100402< and >100319< ? mark something of a departure from the so-called >future garage< tag with which he has frequently been associated in the media.

with this release sinan kaya, an istanbul based dj and producer, is becoming a fresh member of the berlin tonkind crew. since 2001 his passion became also his profession, which he continuously dispread with dj-ing and scores of releases across the bosporus over to europe. his productions and sets can be defined as deep and playful. so aswell this release, which comes up with three variable tracks. something else in the front, shows sinan kayas touch for the impulsive sound.this track becomes a real trip on the dance floor and reflects a farsighted feeling for elctronic dance music. on the fells operates more the minimal genre and adepts a symbiosis of many samples, a duby bass and a bumpy rollin groove. as last but not least there is bloom, a rather charming and friendly tech/ deep house track consisting all required ingredients to make it work as dance floor teaser. in all three tracks its possible to notice some eclectic material of jazz, funk, chigago and jackin fragments put together to a unique sound and providing a different vision for life

nice price deal !!! prinzhorn dance school announce their return with new single – >seed, crop, harvest.< we havent heard a thing from tobin prinz and suzi horn for three years (their debut lp was released on dfa back in 2007) but theyve been far from work-shy. they toured extensively, then came home and built their own bespoke recording studio (the red shed) – and learned how to use it. time consuming endeavors which saw them drop off the music radar. which might just explain the title of the equally charged b-side >off the radar, off the system<. in their own words: >weve been busy. just not busy making records. you have to live too. you can only write so many songs about motorway service stations and airports<. they recorded and mixed both songs themselves in the red shed, with bob weston taking on mastering duties. …prinzhorn dance school are back! and dfa could not be more proud

in classical geometry, the triangle is the simplest polygon. the one which can be used to construct all other polygons. the root of them all. three points define a plane in space. thus resulting in the phenomenon that a tripod always has a safe and solid stand. three musicians teamed up to produce the triangle peul. in addition to the well known mr raoul k rollercoaster ride through moods from contemplation to euphoria, producing as part of a team adds a new dimension of dialog to his work. itÆs no longer just the communication between him and the audience, this time the communication that happened during the production process shines through. the fun, the deep concentration and the energy that everyone felt and committed is recognisable for the audience with ease. unsurprisingly, the triangle peul comes in three different mixes including a drum laden beatstramental for those who still like to mix.
