the new bomb on echocord colour comes from nick höppner and scott monteith aka deadbeat. this is the first ep by nick höppner on echocord colour. nick is maybe most known as being the manager of one of berlins most infamous record labels, ostgut-ton, höppner may not always receive the same lavish praise as ostgut artists like ben klock, shed and marcel dettmann, but there is an argument to be had that he is the best of the bunch. höppner only releases sporadically, but whether it is solo or alongside lee jones as mymy, his records are always remarkable. the 2 tracks for this release are both peaktime tracks. deadbeat did the remix.

muscle records is a label for upfront dirty dance music. all tracks are conceived naturally and recorded on tape, so an elemental and honest approach is required to fully dive into muscle records sounds. riviera is a band formed by a bunch of young talented gritty analogue junkies, most of which has already released on a couple of disrespected labels. the band first jams were recorded on parching tape in a sultry warehoue close to the brentas muddy banks with a noisy dockyard of transistors delights. muscle records is to pride to present this piece of melting techno beats. the strictly limited (300 copies) sr11 e.p. has already got enthusiast feedbacks by blawan, steffi, pariah, rivet, cosmin trg, marcel dettmann, the analogue cops, alex picone, ben ufo.
