transit records 005, -without end hours“, comes loaded with phat, but definitely distinct dancefloor bangers that take the title of the ep quite literally. they cover a full night (and day) out in the club, and range from dark, technoish house („when your groove is mine-), over uplifting re-interpretations of classic house anthems (-without end hours-), and dystopian tech-house (negativ dekadent remix), through to sizzling after hour house (zuckermann remix). ryoma sasaki’s originals show his love for classic electronic music blueprints and how he is able to turn them creatively into something compellingly fresh and contemporary. it feels like listening (and dancing) to something you know, but not from the past, more so from the now. and while they wonderfully work in that now of the night, negativ dekadent turns this familiar feeling into an uneasiness with the future, only to make you forget about it in the abyss of his beats and overwhelming synth patterns just before the morning breaks. finally, zuckermann fully beams you into the slightly distorted new world you might find yourself in anyway at 11 am on a beautiful sunny morning on one of those (berlin) dancefloors.

the micronaut vertont jenen moment, wenn das quietschen der s-bahn und die schritte auf dem nassen asphalt im dämmrigen himmel über den straßen verhallt sind. jenen moment, wenn die verlorenen seelen der abgase und bremslichtern zwischen den häusern umherirren, hinter deren leuchtenden fenster sich träume und ausstiegsfantasien fürs bett vorbereiten. wenn alle nah beieinander sind und doch jeder für sich ist, wenn die stadt ruhig wird und in den köpfen ihrer bewohner immer noch geschäftiges treiben herrscht. irgendwo zwischen bass music, electronica und pop findet stefan streck die rhythmisch-melodische entsprechung dieser epischen atmosphäre. dass er dabei einen ausgeprägten hang zur tragödie hat, das findet nicht nur in der leidenschaftlich-impulsiven geste seiner live-auftritte ausdruck, sondern auch auf forms, seinem dritten studio-album auf acker records, vertrieben durch kompakt. der fiebrige spannungszustand seines nächtlichen stadt-blues nimmt zwischen momenten der gedankenverlorenen melancholie und endorphingeladener aufbruchstimmung immer wieder neue formen an.

canadian minimal standard-bearer pheek is the fifth artist to sign up for the untold stories protagonist series, and he s packing some of the crispest grooves he s laid down in some time. -lonely wolf- is everything a minimal house track should be, with a crackling, shuffling beat and layers of subtle orchestration building into a soul-stirring groover. -father- however takes a more abstract route into off-kilter percussion and exotic found sounds specifically arranged to tickle the mind. that leaves it to -the logical question to come is yet to be defined- to dominate the b-side in a 16-minute trip that moves through all manner of moods and moments.

the kloom surfaced one night in dusseldorf through members of autarkic, naduve, stabil elite and more. this is what they have to say about it: -kloom, in hebrew, nothing. the kloom were not a one-day-band. they did it because it was there, all around them. whether we like it or not, the kloom surrounds us, envelopes us, makes us confess that it really exists. and you, sitting now in front of this screen, you are literally touching the kloom, an illusion that in its exceptional complexity makes you feel like you have the option of joining the other 20.000 newcomers. who will be credited for future kloom productions? no one knows. is there even a point in that sort of thing? it just doesnt really matter, because its too fun to bath in kloom

for his first outing on naar, eric duncan presents us with shut it, a full bore techno-disco work out, complimented by an altogether more cosmic yet tribal remix from living legend daniel baldelli, alongside production partner marco dionig. on the b side you will find zona de perigo, which is a compelling mongrel affair showcasing a drug chug rhythm with a new age feel, and melodies that border on the anatolian, before breaking in to a satisfyingly arpeggiated conclusion.
