french artist, lee van dowski of num and cadenza lowers eyes and draws lips to partial smirks with his charming and witty release. „the variable man,“ based on the title of a science fiction story series from the 50’s, is brilliantly transmitted through a tunnel of sound engineering and audio design by lee van dowski. lee’s electronic rendering of „the variable man,“ distinguishes several dominant male voices accumulating a rhythmic momentum to the peak of the track, a peak where an orgasmic flow just stops short of the central explosion, fundamentally, fading the instrumentals before revamping again. the b-side of the track, „thomas coles lives,“ co-produced by agnès, comes alive with a fascinating mix of symbols and keyboards. „the variable man“ is lee’s second release on leena music, after his first 12“, „louder elvis,“ in collaboration with agnès appeared on leena in 2008. both tracks express very minimalistic tones yet are characterized by rather divergent

one year after his first ep on cargo edition, kostas tassopouls aka ekkohaus delivers to the label another incredibly strong release. the native-born greek, now living in berlin, has developed into an skilled producer who rides the line between techno and house. the combination of reduced, hypnotic and impulsive arrangements with a subtle deepness are typical of ekkohaus’ sound, demonstrated perfectly in the two tracks of this ep. “unsound” is characterized by his smooth, almost elegant rhythm. a repetitive meandering vocal sample weaves through the track, sounding familiar yet haunting at the same time. the track is already played by many key dj’s and is definitely to be heard more often within the next months to come. “moon talking” focuses on a more standard vocal which gives the track some pop-appeal. at the same time the introverted male vocal introduces a very catching harmony which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the dancefloor. with this ep, ekkohaus cements himself as one of the modern-house talents.
