inc cassy remix (perlon, panoramabar), first up is the more jackin minimal tune of the lot.… the second tune of the a-side takes on a more trancey and bleepy approach as string-like pads are brought in to mellow out the feeling of the track and support the crunchy and vibrant bass line. the major elements of b1 are comprised of an acidlike bass line and a staccato house piano. for the fourth and final track of the ep, cassy is brought in on remix duty and does a makeover of bleepy creep (a1) that introduces new elements and new energies. the remix is based on minimal references and stays low and repetitive

a: tral 49 - a easy beat with good placed cheeping sounds and well-balanced grooves are the key elements of the track >tral 49<. after a dj friendly introduction gloominess and psyche meet each other and invite to dance as both complement each other in full harmony and build the peak to the basis. b 1: zwischenlandung is a minimal track which atmosphere bringsa convenient feeling. the track starts with an emotional bass line which makes space, in the continuing story line, for a melancholic melody which coherence and charm never gets lost. b 2: der kuss des drachen -the finish is a nice homage to all which prefer a more relaxed motion but don t want to start sleeping on the way. a grooving beat cooperates in effective harmony with a classic chinese stringed bowed instrument so that you don t want to stop to seesaw in the rhythm. the whole time short padding sounds build up and down without losing the red line or leaving space for boredom

damon proves he s still got it, revisiting his subtractive synthesis project for an eighth time. the ep takes us on a spaced-out journey into the future with tribal beats, ethereal sounds and a sometimesquirky nature. on the a-side >space time< is a haunting track with a galloping feel and mesmerizing bass line. >evolute< is a masterful track that s both deep and funky...

sleepy hollow was obviously inspired by the movie of the same name. it is one of my favourite pictures by tim burton and i really like the dark, creepy atmosphere of it. the bass-line recreates this mood to an extent that it scares me, makes me shiver. i mean, really! regenerate has such a strong techhouse vibe to it, again reminiscent of the early 90s and a very strong groove. excellent percussion programming and modulation by stephan. this one builds and builds until it completely gets you. personally i think all due respect is the most laidback, reduced track on the album. we came up with this distinctive, monotone melody/bass and i loved the feeling right away. definetely the kind of music that i like to play on a sunday after hour session

huge funky house tune with a great trumpet line and a kicking male vocal sample all backed with nice drums and percussions not to be missed

the debauched team second release gets more offensive. there is a point in the night where the music has to gear up, this is when debauched releases hit the floor. the original mix on the a side is a relentless mixture of dirty electro and stompy house. all very percussive and penetrating in pure debauched style. the b side is an instrumental with a quirkier acid line by 13 kabuki queens (aka cedric)

multi vitamins gives birth to its third baby, mv 03: 4 tracks, 2 brains, conceiving some of the freshest and most forward thinking expressions in nowadays electronic dance music. sebastian russell leads you to some exotic, fascinating and still dopy territories. den adds some japanese folk to his cyber-minimal style. sebastian s misbehave breaks in with a reverberating crash and a rapping sample. to follow, while a low-fi soul penetrating bass line keeps the hips shaking, the combination of twisted mechanics, computer sounds with thirst-quenching vocals creates a mixed effect of drunkness and sensuality. sebastian s fusion of contrasting elements follows with chinese squid, where the warm melody of a canang ibu floats over a line of raw funked-up drums. den s sister 1 represents the most minimal piece of mv 03 dance output, characterised by a solid 4/4 bass kick, ultra filtered hi-hats and glitchy subtle electronic textures. n 23 to the beach is featured by a heavy slow-pi ched kick, spaced out with drills and chirurgical noises. a female vocal pattern kicks in humble, but after a hiccupping stage, the geisha is on fire

a very sexy nu skool houser with elements of strings a great piano line and perhaps a hint of knuckles with the old skool vocal

on the a side, step back is an ultra fat minimal tune with both old school housy sounds and strong techno beat. the dark male vocal repeating step back won t leave your head for hours. on the flip side, bastien grine goes deeper on a mental trip. a fat bass line surrounded by clear floating sounds. he plays with stereo effects and we loose our mind … pure madness

legendary series to be continued with 2 acts from the uk. first >cool cuts< releases have been much in demand, and peeps are still trying to get hold of them - if you are lucky! a side is a brilliant track by the b-siderz - in the vein of some more proper house sounding stuff with nice sublime guitars struggling their way thru 2 big breaks complemented with an pushing b line and sophisticated acid sounds in between. other side is our beloved ma saski from manchester with an already massive electro tinged primetime stomper. the guys from the >tribal gathering< camp play around with some b lines emphasising those little but most effectual breaks through a wicked male poetry. mind you, that tune goes on and on without getting lame - dj linus always starts his sets with that tune - big!

dave taylor and jesse rose have been working together as induceve for about 6 years now. this is their second release on dubsided and as the title track >warehouse shit< has been knocking about for a minute, its good to see the vinyl is out now. a1 warehouse shit – so there s going to be comparisons with >higher state of consciousness< but what the hell, it smashes the floor every time its played. its squelchy, bumpy, and all pinned down by a simple but effective groove. b1 stay cool - proper underground mischief. bumps along nicely. as the title suggests this track stays cool, doesn t get too hectic - just a bass line, relevant hooks and automated lead synth line. b2 why burn - cool, heavier and altogether less deliberate. the deeper side of induceve with a definite chicago, sneak-type feel

this new release from hardcell proves what an exciting and versatile producer he is. this time ther are 4 tracks and as always they are hugely varied. the a1 is truly anthemic yet subtle with its vicious powerful synth line and haunting string stabs. the a2 is a groovy, infectious cut with sharp drums and clever edits. the b1 is a warehouse styled bass driven killer whilst the b2 finishes the ep in fine style with a more aggressive yet deep feeling cut..
