with their first co-production, dj / producer paul woolford and the irish-born producer team paul hamill and dee lievense aka psycatron deliver the prove that uk techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power in the year 2010. after releases for carl craigs planet e label and r & s (psycatron) resp. 2020 vision or renaissance (paul woolford), the two tracks on the >thunder ep< are consequently moving to the next level. >thunder< impresses with extremely dynamic drumming and always changing percussion patterns. a rhythm body that is constantly in motion and will be enlightening every single dance floor with its hypnotic power dub. >cloud 9<, however, is stepping back at first and stresses an explicit chord techno structure despite its solid pumping elements before integrating some noise rave signals following the epic break after some 5 minutes, as it was totally naturally and thus letting the whole floor blast off. with such joy of telling and the eagerness to experiment in a musical way, you are really looking forward to the winter club season 2010/2011!

prompt has been producing electronic music since the mid 90s and during this time has made a string of outstanding eps, some of which have even won awards. but who exactly is this man from madrid: prompt? to stand on a stage and party for hours in his own world is not prompts style. he would rather sit in the background of his studio and create unforgettable and ever more fascinating tunes. his debut ep on highgrade set the tone for his convincing mix of sound design and subtle hooks. these are also the most important elements for his new highgrade release. in >sharing sounds< its all about deepness. expressed through dense loopy forests and deep broken valleys. you have to engage in the sound experience and see the world prompt has built for you. few other techno producers have such a distinctive style or unique voice. with this ep you could be blindfolded on the dance floor and you would still recognize the music. the sound will convince you once again, both in the club and on the turntables at home.
