one of the leading names in the current ukg revival prozak returns to dj mag’s ‘breakthrough label of the year’ time is now with another weighty cut of bass driven goodness.

echocord returns late june with a new release, joel alter under his jor-el alias, entitled ‘tilted reality’ and comprising three originals from the swedish artist. currently based in copenhagen, sweden born producer and dj joel alter is a name synonymous with the contemporary techno scene on both his home turf and across the globe, his back catalogue to date features a long player for the uncanny valley imprint, solo ep’s for d’julz’ bass culture, sweatshop and collaborative works for kontra musik alongside henrik johnsson amongst much more. this time round though we see alter return under his jor-el guise under which he first started releasing material on dj hell’s internation deejay gigolo imprint. up first is title-track ‘tilted reality’ laid out over seven minutes with a slowly unfolding dynamic feel, encompassing spiraling atmospherics, distorted rhythms and blooming stab- sequences. ‘elevation’ follows and takes a more direct groove-driven approach via straight four-four percussion and hooky bass chops, whilst tension building pads and fluttering dub echoes gradually build around the foundation. ‘solitude’ closes out the package deliving into deeper realms with soft ethereal dub chords, acid tinged leads and emotive strings.

5 playful bass cuts

plunge, a travel through the depths and rhythms of techno, electro, bass, breaks, psy, glued together by a bubbly warmth reminiscent of oceanic exploration and dance floor groove.

one of the most evasive titles of the prescription/balance catalog, chez damier & stacey pullens >forever monna< evinces the futurism of the most forward leaning deep house music, purging itself of any relics of disco sentimentality in the sacred quest of that prophecy of infinite, intangible beauty hidden within the patchwork of electronic production. originally released in apparently minuscule numbers on serious grooves in 1993, this remarkable instrumental track was re-released two years later on ballance, a fine example of these two detroit pioneers tireless effort to claim a piece of that brave new world from the unyielding clutches of techno. slinky synth loops. eerie chord frames and a brilliantly simple low-end punctuation coalesce in the uncertain, unidentifiable prospect of soul music stripped of any links to the past or present, an inexplicably funky rendition of a deep house slow mounting contagion, infecting fatally the recollections of parliament / funkadelic bass-licks and warm organ progressions with a bleak, somehow comforting landscape of fresh alien-esque soul

repress .... massive decks tipp

repress - clara and armand made their first tracks for the retirement of the librarian from their art school in paris. beginning the collaboration which brought them to post a few tracks on soundcloud and a first single «prettiest virgin» in april. the silky and roaring voice of clara mixes perfectly with armand’s drum machine and those 90’s keyboards. hammering with acid bass, the tandem brings us to an «early warp» sound between daniel maloso, black devil disco and ariel pink. «cardan» ep is a journey into a fantasy of america, but also into a world of synthesis where nothing is clear, all our orientations are scrambled. nobody has control. the virgin forget herself, the princess is drowning but the parrot knows everything.

danny goliger was one of our first artists that we launched our left-of-center white label project with, and his eclectic and genre-bending tracks make their way back to the label again. this time he brings along choopsie, the talented producer out of la with an equal amount of diversity, both broken-beat in nature, “cycling” contrasts with rumble bass and soft pads, while “af rex” takes a melancholy tone with chopped vocal bits and rolling low subs

for its 303rd release, tresor records is glad to present a commissioned work by donato dozzy. rome based production maestro and dj extraordinaire donato dozzy is unanimously considered as an illustrious leading light in all techno artforms. along his long career and extensive discography, dozzy has proven to use his instruments most interesting ways, always re-inventing his music, always presenting new approaches to both the deeper and the more rhythmic forms of electronic music. it was self-evident to tresor records to enroll donato dozzy’s talents for this assignment, a nod to the seminal roland tb-303 bass synthesizer. the result is a relentless collection of radical, propulsive and bleeding-heart acid tracks. donato dozzy wishes to dedicate this work to his lifelong friend filo.
