in association with afterdark records and broke recordings, 20k freaks is proud to present the next freakish release, featuring an original production from label artist agent k, alongside jbreak. the original mix is one of those belters that causes a massive stir on the dancefloor and makes every person spaz out as if they ve never heard music before. seriously heavy bass line shizzle from the u.s and if that wasnt enough, hardcore beats screwface steps up for remix duties and does what everyone thought was impossible, by turning it into even more of a stomper and creating a devastating effect! pure synth madness with fierce non stop chugging beats rolling from start to finish

eveybody s gay... suggests however a musical idea that could not be simpler, a kind of atonal electronic blues with a recurring motif. yet, everything hinges on keyboards riffs and song rendering which allow d.i.p to bowl us over exultantly. if everybody s gay... is playing on self-restraint, on the b-side perfect day launches a head-on attack on the dancefloor with overworked disco-techno-rock intentions…and, present as always, those acid-electro-gut-wrenching tones. we can also notice that florian s personality shines out in broad daylight, as if it was possible, amazingly playing on voices. seducing and convincing. everybody is definitely ok: if a second ep is always a decisive test for a producer, d.i.p. compels recognition on the popular credibility form. moreover those little brats take advantage of the opportunity to sign right through the sheet

rmxs by the bad boys: dejonka & phunklarique !! a1. on the a1-side we have no other than the groove >untight< rebels with their first release on hammarskjoeld. with their best erotic digital vibes they made an electrifying floorfunker for those sweet euphoric maniacs sure rockin the cool out of the night. a2. hammarskjoeld artist dejonka remixed the track in a tricky foolish matter. adding his typical mystic tech-flavour to it, the track appears deep and in the same way stranged funked up

songs from serge gainsbourng.

>short life< is a so to say old-school-hook with all those beautiful chicago-sounds, rolling over the clubfloor and absolutely done by a djs mind. on the flipside >dirty hairy< is walking late at night through sin-city, strolling around with some spooky sirens and at least there is no nites end… …for the likes of villalobos…supported by luciano, m.a.n.d.y., ali schwarz, tom clark & woody !!!

>method to madness< kicks like a mule from second one with oldschool handclapping beats and rattling percussion and when those strings set in, the sensitive ones should better protect their behind, cause they announce the sledgehammer bassline - and all this is only the beginning of a crazy, twisting and turning wildpitch ride. for >paddy system< chris carrier is on the controls solo and will have you shake your money maker with a slightly latinesque b-boy style beat - somethin that you might expect from kenny dope - but then adds a these chugging, whipping synth chords for a good tech-house spank

the original version of this is euphoric techno with classic detroit strings and a nagging spoken vocal, but mike mondays remixes are pure hands in the air peaktime techhouse. the playtime boss provides two stellar reworks: a sublime, string-drenched acid builder complete with vintage piano breakdown, and a piano-less dub for those darker, heads-down moments. drop the sans piano remix at the right time, and carnage will most definitely ensue

nice house number especially made for those big rooms (sb)

super+ totally re-freaks the track into two electro-punk versions with energetic distorted guitar riffs and enough effects on the vocals to give them a whole different slant. lil devious main mix cuts out the vocals and is more hypnotizing than hanussen with its spiraling loops. for those who like it sweet n mellow theres also a pleasurebar remix working those strings to great effect.

brought to you by two of the sharpest selectors in the western us, origin peoples #6 simultaneously captures the essence of a period when dancefloors were not yet divided into a million sub-genres, when all that mattered was a groove that made you move. it also skillfully showcases the kind of refined beat mining we find today, when increased freedom of information makes even the most seasoned crate diggers bow down in amazement at the sheer weight of great music yet to be discovered.
across both sides, we find the combined talents of san diego based legends bernie “dj inform” fishman (side a) and mike “marsellus” wallace (side b), former roommates who first met while record hunting, eventually cementing a bond centered around the endless pursuit of quality sound. their respective collections are among some of the most respected worldwide, and the knowledge and flair on display in their dj sets is something to behold.
for those not yet fortunate enough to have caught fishman and/or marsellus out in the wild, you now have these recordings to enjoy - so turn those volume dials all the way up. a sure sign of the gifted dj is an ability to educate and entertain in equal measure, whether on the floor, in your crib, or on the street. to have two such selectors on a format that fits in the pocket is a treat that can’t be beat.

for those who knows...

almost otherworldly in its vastness and serene beauty, many musicians have drawn from the well of inspiration that is arizona’s sonoran desert, but few are quite as accomplished or prolific as steve roach. an ambient pathfinder and electronic innovator, his back catalogue as vast as those breathtaking vistas – sonic renderings of arid landscapes littered with saguaro cacti are found in good company alongside didgeridoo-focused experiments and ethereal drifts that navigate the event horizon, between the brilliance of space and a black abyss.
reminiscent of philip glass’ minimalism and the kosmische stylings of tangerine dream, ‘skeleton keys’ seemed to fall somewhere between the two. conjuring expansive meditations amongst the impossible tangle of wires that dangle from his apparatus, roach opens portals from the grand canyon state into a cluster of newborn stars with intricate, intelligent sequencing and modular synthesis.
recorded between 2005 and 2015 from roach’s famed timeroom and timehouse studios, the album was fully realized through advancements in technology, specifically, synthesizers.com’s large format analog modular sequencer. organic, fluid and intuitively kneaded into his spooling soundscapes, it’s now to be committed to cassette for the first time, bridging the synaptic gap with a new ‘expanded’ version that elongates the original 74-minute duration.
