as adult records is presenting one fine funked up techno release after another, it was only a matter of time before they signed carl falk to the label. carl has built up quite a name for himself in a short period of time, with releases on labels such as hz trax, patterns, pirate audio, zync, mhx, relatives and more. on entry ep he brings his finest work yet, three fresh tribal techno cuts which will rock many dancefloors in the months to come

big with: damian lazarus, kiki, jimpster, ripperton, p.toile, m.monday daso franke, a fellow well known not only for his fantastic releases on mbf and connaisseur, but also for his furious live-sets, sets out to bring the noise again. after having been inspired by the nerdy world of old-schoolish adventure games for his last release, he uses the dissolute world of absinthe as an afflatus this time. he takes us to a land where alluring little green fairies buzz around and people cut their ears off under absinthe’s massively woozy influence. thujon: the impact of well-made absinthe depends on its concentration of thujon. it can best be described as a kind of heightened clarity of mind and vision. and this is what this track is all about - 100% thujon! louche is the name of the cloudy effect you achieve by adding water to spirits, which contain anise, like absinthe does. this track starts with a low-key groove, which forces up to a mental dance affaire, including a genuine rocking daso-esque break

klickhaus gains momentum with this trippy, late night minimal endeavor for their third release, produced by now m_nus artist, ambivalent. this is ambivalent s second ep, the first being on klickhaus successful sister label, clink recordings, titled >roomies< , and he again proves himself as a name to watch out for this year. ambivalent has a unique, rhythmically diverse and funky style that can be mixed in many different arenas and always has an element of personality to each piece, which makes it a unique experience in dj sets. on the remix side, camea takes the original to the next level by stripping down the rhythm and adding a peak time chromatic pattern to the bubbling lead tone provided by ambivalent. camea s unique style adds a great diversity to this ep. dj emerson is the techno gentleman of the berlin underground scene for quite a while now, on this 12inch he provides a stellar re-work somewhere between house and techno to palindrome
