for the second part, frankfurts losoul (playhouse,logistic) takes the downbeat dub-techno-jazz of renatos underpool and turns it into an anthemic deep house number thats 12 minutes long and 20.000 leagues under the sea, yet full of bounce. finally, berlin-based brit ed davenport (counterchange) takes anymore and gives it an entirely different edge, a naval onslaught of crashing, jacking breakbeats, while sonar frequencies gently circle outward like the sirens call, rounding out the funkoholic remixes voyage.

after sides from matthew burton, seuil and albert schwartz, sammy dees ultrastretch label returns in 2013 with volkan akin. a regular presence at berlin institutions like club der visionäre, akin has been slowly rolling out his brand of prickly, spaced-out club tracks since the end of the last decade, both under his own name and as v for volkan. but if volkan akin has up until now been unfamiliar beyond germany, his ultrastretch debut, voltage, featuring an absolute beast of a ricardo villalobos remix, stands to turn more than a few heads in his direction. densely packed and intricately constructed, voltage is an extended groove you can get lost in. cymbals ring softly amidst whirrs of faintly melodic clicks, scratches and voices. but at the center of akins churning, percussive arrangement lies a warm and weighty kick sure to keep dancers pinned to the floor. like so many great perlon records, voltage can be taken as a deeply considered exercise in sound design or as a deadly club track simultaneously, with akins musical sophistication and knack for an inviting beat working hand-in-hand. the original mix spends over 11 minutes unraveling, but as you fall further into the swirl of akins interlocking rhythms, youre likely to stop counting. a shorter constant voltage mix evokes sunrise, pulling back the originals heft to reveal gorgeous pads and hints of organic rhythm. ricardo villalobos, sammys longtime label mate at perlon and a producer who likely needs no introduction, digs deeper into the thump at the heart of voltage on his acdc remix. focusing on the originals wisps of melody, villalobos turns in a warm, zoned-in remix that feels of a piece with the singular techno trips found on his recent lp dependent and happy

diamond version craft music that is somehow simultaneously futuristic and archaic. on the surface, its static effervescence and mechanistic precision evoke the march of technology and the sinister detachment of late capitalist society. but it affects listeners on a more instinctive level, interfacing directly with the nervous system and rendering the polyphonic chatter of the bodys impulses crisp and cold. there is something oddly permanent about they rhythms they unearth, as though theyare simply tapping into a deeper pulse that has always been present within their circuitry. diamond version is a collaborative project between two of the most groundbreaking, experimental and forward thinking operators in modern music, olaf bender and carsten nicolai. as joint heads of the berlin-based label raster-noton and with solo projects alva noto (nicolai) and byetone (bender), for over a decade they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dancefloor. diamond version release the latest instalment in their series of eps leading up to an album in summer 2013.
