second release in 2012 is pirupas hard rocking debut on desolat. his party non stop is not only a trip down memory lane crossing paths of hip house as vocal version and early ravish bleep sounds as instrumental. its first and foremost a house sound of now - with attitude. dj qu, the man behind strength music, rounds up the ep with a healthy dose of drama with his epic raw remix.

after the first release result 001 from alex flatner / hermanez with remxes by christian burkhardt and leon the second release result002 is produced by olene kadar including a big markus fix remix oldeholtwolte – olene – kadar - these three exotic terms describe an extraordinary musician. olene kadar, who is also known as henk van zwol from oldeholtwolde, is an intriguing personality with a remarkable sense for music and hairstyle. in 2007 the young dutchman supplied the nightlife with a series of rocking live-sets in places like the sugar factory and studio 80 in amsterdam. he surprised many a friend and competitor and he has accomplished the fact of you reading his biography. thanks. anotable remark is that this outstanding man has shaped a huge passion for music and creativity. because of his a-typical way of performing he is seen as the most promising liveact of this moment. after an unequalled performance at studio 80 daniel mumbling sanchez already called him the dutch alphex twin coaxingly however, because this is not how henk sees himself. the next critic of his performance at the mos ferry party at the distillery in leipzig, had a more catchy description: chaotic, unconventional , freaky , flachen und minimale beats, verzerrungen, zahlreiche breaks, sublimierter wahnsinn!

absolutely lethal, classic footwork from these three originators — body-rocking, invigorating and startling, hybrid without compromise. the a is route-one dancefloor murder, honed and nasty, vintage chicago and detroit gone clear across the border, the flip is a fiercely dazzling juke vocal collage, bare and hard as nails

the first world unknown 12 inch kicks off with a slamming piece of prototype house from glasgows naum gabo aka jonnie wilkes from optimo and his production partner james savage. showing that a relatively low pace doesnt mean any drop in energy levels and dancefloor pump power, whop! cracks along like something from an alternate reality version of 1980’s chicago. its as easy to imagine it rocking the house at medusas or the box as it is to envision it in the present day soundtracking some kind of bizarro fetish party or a particularly intense session at berghain’s lab-oratory. this is jacking in the true sense of the word. on the flip side italian born berlin resident franz underwear ups the tempo with a stunning piece of slamming european musclebeat. shades of ibiza 88-89 pervade here, the kind of pumping, chunky synth action, teutonic vocal exhortations and vaguely menacing but ultimately benign vibe that sent thousands of potty european kids totally round the bend and changed the world of dance music forever.

following ryan davis debut >routes of life< on traum in january 2011, his high acclaimed follow up shows ryan is a real tastemaker but also a real club rocking musician. few artists in the electronic modern dance scene of today make music that seems serious and intense... and still accomplishes to have club people go wild on it. it is a bit of a lost treasure of the golden techno days, ryan always reflects in his music when he creates moments of beauty with an collective fee to them. ryan davis in one of them and his new ep shows that side even more than his debut. a-side track supernova brings images together of psychedelic west coast soundtracks of the 70ies, pop art, shoe gazers and maybe salvatore dalis surrealism.
