the debut release on poem by neotnas, is set to showcase both the labels outlook and pedigree. the outlook of quality, from the music, to the pressing and artwork, and the pedigree, which is proven in the history of tobias duffner, who ran fauxpas musik, and his choice of upcoming artists already slated to release on poem. neotnas hails from the city of chelyabinsk in russia, and delivers a mature yet fresh ep of deep, well versed grooves. to grant it a genre would narrow the appeal of these tracks, but rest assured those from house or techno backgrounds will both find common ground. these tracks stand out for their almost unearthly feel, and its easy to hear that neotnas are close to the ural mountains, in tracks like kai, or that day, which serve both the head and the feet. the future for poem lies in cultivating new artists as talented as neotnas, to go alongside proven ones, as a list of remix names show how poem will progress: convextion/e.r.p., anton zap, modern stalking and mlz to name a few already at work.

whilst some people claim that the number seven is lucky, some people, like duff, dont believe in luck, or if there is such a thing as luck you make your own. you cant rely on anyone else to hold your hand you know, you gotsta forge your own path, they arent called the mean streets for nothing. duff is the sort of man who not only makes his own luck (cos who else is gonna look after you?) but he keeps an eye on his bredren too. those in the neighbourhood feel safe because all is good in duffs hood, always has been, always will be, the police dont even come there, because they don’t have to, that block is on lock-down brother. though he isnt some type of machismo, over-the-top (hat back go-on sly) caricature, its just the way it is, nuthin to argue about. he has a way about him, the glare of a pitbull and the smile of don juan, dusty is his girl yep thats her real name, the name her mamma gave her on the day she was introduced to this world. the girl is fine thats for sure but what else would you expect from the honey that rides shotgun with the sonic casanova. she might call herself lucky. duff would disagree.
