2015 ist das jahr des neuen albums von alex bau, das ende april seine definition von modernem, intelligentem techno mit einem düsteren und zugleich auch organischem touch präzise definiert. ein klares bekenntnis zum sound. frei von hochglanz-bildern und ablenkenden elementen kommt dies album mit techno in seiner unverfälschten, puren form mit einem einzigen fokus: die musik selbst! nach 5 jahren quasi überfällig ist es definitiv an der zeit, daß einer der am meisten für ihren sound respektierten technoproduzenten nach mehr als 100 produktionen und remixes auf szenerelevanten labels wie chris liebing s -clr-, techniasia s -sino-, dem englischen technoaushängeschild -sleaze records-, dem legendären harthouse oder auch kürzlich auf sven väth s -cocoon recordings- nun erneut ein techno-statement in form eines full-length-albums zu setzen. und genau hierfür kam nur eine plattform in frage: alex eigenes label -credo-, das vor allem in den letzten beiden jahren mit seinen eindrucksvollen releasaes mehr als durchgestartet ist.

a1: -deep roads- the idea of perfection has never been so close. with its persistent succession of drums and embracing bassline the first track of the ep kicks in with analog pure sounds. a2: -got me- it is recorded with maria bergson on vocal. 100% pure sexy club banger. b1: -what u want- alex calls den on board to create something extraordinary. the result is a creature that will take your body and shake it all night long. drums and bass recorded live, analog. b2: -got me- (rick wade remix) nothing better than an exotic and tribal version of got me by the master of house mr. rick wade.

alex font repeats in oblack- only like the best and he does it showing the most acidic and clubby version of that the real house that permeates their sound from start to finish. this acid flow is the fifteenth reference of the pastorial label commanded by snna and nacho arauz- from ibiza the valencian alex font presents us with an original passage of festive house, trotter and no-friend of the depressions where the legendary sound of the roland tb-303 is the pacesetter, disguises the soul and adds foundation to the track. and, since it breaks the acidic sound through antonomasia, this acid flow, shows his playful and fun side. this is a bright and optimistic theme, designed and checked to make us dance with a smile on our face, no doubt. a bare-chested tribute to those early 90s when electronics was all about joy and effervescence.

allnite music 002 brings alex agore with some of his best works so far. both *basement jam* and *be someone* tracks strikes right the middle of the target, somehow between his earlier 4lux works and his no matter what hot dancefloor stuff. on b side, apoena presents two grooved house tracks with jazz sounding keys cut directly from vinyl. just a killer 4-tracker!

roots for bloom hits its tenth release and welcomes carlos sanchez & alex kaddour to the label. this ep is made for the floor, its no nonsense, groove based house music at its best. tough basslines drive the a side black freddie s moustache and echoey vocals stab through. on the flip the basslines remain at the forefront of your attention, but this time layered alongside more mysterious synth lines and twisted vocals. with previous releases on the likes of 8bit and poker flat its easy to see why these guys will fit right in at the roots for bloom camp.

franck s wanderlust is a no-nonsense kinetic house cut with an old-school male vox sublimely worked over bubbly bass, weighty percussion, and resonating intonations. up for remix duty is rouge scoiety label head and uk-house stalwart jordan peak who strips things back to deliver a dark and brooding cut, cultivated over pulsating bass, stabbing synths & shifting percussion. on the b-side alex s microsociety bubbles into life over warm bass, soft pads and whirring intonations to deliver a beautifully basic slow-grooving house cut. meanwhile visionquest & cadenza affiliate cesar merveille punches out a robust re-imagining over rolling bass, subtle tones and fluctuating drums to supply a raw and dynamic techno cut. two superb digital bonuses come from danse club records head honchos brodanse and torino native and carnival records boss marcelo tag to round off the fine six-track ep in style.

in -music be my lover- alex sander combines a fusion of special electronic sounds and elements of the 80 s and 90 s with interesting and exciting new rhythms of today. this is deep house that will certainly climb the charts and fill every dance floor. the voice belongs to lamont prince, a singer and producer from washington, dc. his singing style combines the roots of gospel with elements of art rock.the amazing remixes come from patty kay, boy next door and samuel fach.
