alejandro vivanco, chilean producer and dj offers us >energia roja<, an unusual and sensory journey into his minimal, organic techno universe, which takes us far, far away, on a journey to the distant borders of abstract. in the same, insane and twisted vein, >los imaginarios< is an invitation into a land of dreams, a perfect soundtrack to tim burtons alice in wonderland played in slow-motion and a perfect companion to further appreciate this epic journey. two non-conventional tracks which are somewhat reminiscent of productions from berlins perlon records.
last but not least, the remix of >energia roja< by jens bond, one of berlins techno activists that needs no more introduction, this rendition takes us a step closer to the dancefloor with a minimal, deep version of the track that is just perfect for those lush, sexy warm ups.

after their sure-fire succession of great releases dam swindle end up on the excellent freerange imprint. and if you like the words deep along with atmospheric then this will most definitely appeal to you. from the opening title track with its lush, moody nu-groove styled pads and thunderous hand-claps these three productions simply ooze class and intensity in abundance. next is >gotta know< which rewinds back to classic house sounds and injects a sense of melody into the already swinging rhythms and punchy, detroit bass. which is then followed by >brotherman< and yet more in-depth moods, this time accompanied by jazzy, scat styled vocals for added diversity. finally we have wolf music main man krl stepping up to remix brotherman and a rather sterling job he does to. making great use of the vocal krl brings us a slowed down version with his trademark shuffling drums and a dynamic arrangement. piano stabs and a cheeky boogie synth sample all help bring his own sound to the track and round off the package perfectly.

nice price deal !!! here comes a record that shouldnt have been released in the first place. who first started to circulate the cd-r with the blue inscription waiting for kim / we get high is totally unknown. the more known though, is who has been playing these two tracks, the one subtly uplifting, the other cranky dark, over the last few months. its still an unsolved riddle who is responsible for those two very divergent (but obviously coming from a single source productions. the fact that now these two tracks are coming out as a white label doesnt shed any more light on the affair either. but will please the dj and club world nonetheless.
