real soon is proud to present the debut release by berlin-based producer hauke freer. hauke has an old-school production approach, working with contemporary software but using a palette of mainly vinyl samples to give a loose, effortless, raw-sounding edge. my beat is a dirty, gritty, house work-out featuring deep, filtered chords, lo-fi percussion and roughly chopped vocal pieces. old-fashioned in a good way - just the way we like it! we must face our fears is a smoother, minimal track with a delicate, beautifully measured mesh of percussive knocks, slides & bleeps driven by a pulsing sine wave bass. as the track builds, a classic detroit-flavoured chord wash brings it all together. bliss... biography hauke freer grew up in a small town near hamburg and moved to berlin in 2000 to work for the techno label kanzleramt. after spending a year in australia djing and working for the label future classic, hauke returned to berlin to work for the resopal schallware label

originally released on the evolution sub label symbiotic. actually this is one of our personal favorites from the complete evolution/link/reload/global communications catalogue. one of the more overlooked masterpieces in the whole i.d.m. scene (i hate that name). but a masterpiece in techno history. mark pritchard took things further where the original innovators from detroit stopped. a perfect combination of beautiful and forward thinking music without forgetting about what brought all of us into this music.. the excitement for rhythms that make you move!
