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.

venezuelan producer argenis brito graces us with his sophomore cadenza release, the imminent ep. renowned for his role as lead vocalist for senor coconut as well as his collaborative projects with artists as decorated as luciano, pier bucci, jay haze and samim, the multi-talented argenis solo work comes with some pedigree. resident in berlin since 2004, his distinctly latin interpretation of house is a step ahead of the game, with prior releases on junion and cadenza animating floors with that inimitable south american fervour. title track >imminent< is a playful affair,with bouncing bass and a shimmering synth melody dancing around the kick. intoxicating and funked up, the melodies call and respond in a fragmented conversation while pulsing echoed tones add depth to the mix. >mind body soul< stutters into a complex percussive pattern, coloured by warm keys and blocks of bass tone. funky is the word, as a distorted vocal directs bodies to the floor. deep and immersive, dark melodic synth movements plunge us into a sweaty and cathartic house hole. on the flip, >lolipop< combines electro and house elements into one cheeky dance with the devil. bubbling bass flows under cascading melodic synth, as fat percussion crunches around sharp vocal bursts. slick and futuristic, this is for that time of the night where looking backwards is not an option.closing the ep, >unreality< is as deep as they come. warm and uncompromising key stabs pulsate over a no-nonsense bass drive, accented by harmonising clav tones. living up to its moniker, the resonant melodies and hypnotic pace conspire to transcendental effect.

watch ya feet is a beast with two heads as not one to do things by halves gavin has presented not one but two mixes, which both reflect the mood and scene of each of his homes. on the berlin mix, gavin captures the innocent late night energy and rawness of a berlin dancefloor. the twisted bassline, eerie tech house groove and warped noises roll along while the chicago-esque horns shriek out over the chaos. the london mix truly conjures up memories of londons finest venues, whether it be fabric or the end through to the afterhours of kubikle and retox. the groove here is a lot crisper than the german offering with the horn hook taking the to a euphoric climax. ewan pearson is one of the most highly acclaimed producers / remixers around, with past work including goldfrapp and the chemical brothers. his remix is one of pure energy as the track is transformed, through flawless production, into a sinister powerhouse of rising electro-techno that would feel at home in the sets of the likes of smagghe, weatherall, richards and mayer to name but a few.

renegade soundmachine byronic: rsm are gary asquith (renegade soundwave, rema rema) & renault schubert (film2). the text for byronic was penned by the author and bon viveur lord byron himself a couple of years ago. renegade soundmachines tongue in cheek piece of work mirrors their anarcho decadent character, which gary asquith already used to bring in with his legendary project renegade soundwave probably a robbery despite the byronic irony, theres yet a message in the attitude. film 2 big city heart: film2 are the french actress betty la gachette (voice, dictaphone, field recordings, camera, typewriter) and once again sir renault schubert (electronics, guitar, bass, edrums, camera, software) from berlin. with big city heart they cry out an emotional and momentary perspective of capitalism, urban and individual mutations with gasoline in the air and vaseline on my hair.

up and coming berlin based till von sein presents his first full release on dirt crew. with records out on trenton, channels, morris audio and his marvellous remixes on moodmusic and for our last tigerskin record he proved to be a new face in the deep house scene that is bound to take over. tills productions are very melodic and gather a lot of influence from jazz to funk and disco, all this combined with a strong tech house groove makes his tracks true dancefloor burners. to give his debut an extra boost we asked his mates catz n dogz ( aka 3 channels ) to deliver a bomb of a remix ! they are currently one of the hottest acts around and recently released a great album on mothership, not to mention their hit remix on boxer last year. these guys proved once more that they can do awesome remixes and their version of ovas is nothing less but brilliant ! it will tear the club apart!

michael forzzas is one of the most important techno djs from belgium. like figure head len faki, michael forzzas speciality is to play extended sets which develop an individual athmosphere. figure 015 is forzzas first international release, and forzza sent two unique tracks to berlin, the tenor & the monkey is destined to turn the dancefloor into a frenzy. it puts you in a state of fear and euphoria at the same time. while the tenor & the monkey puts the roof of every club on fire, high on this is more cautious. the powerful groove unfolds its energy in many contexts. the pulse of the track immediate, it feels like the music is talking to each dancer personally. the tenor & the monkey and high on this don t show any effort, yet the tracks rule over the dancefloor: they both manage to focus on the essence of club music, a rarely achieved task these days.

bekeschus is a new project in eintakts artist portfolio. the brothers benjamin and sander present here their first release called >dieser moment<. this ep is a combination of moody electronic styles containing 4 tracks floating between deep, dub, and dirty. the songs connect modern music-to-the-floor with timeless sounds and arrangements that both touch inside and move forward. sound inspirations derive from numerous movements of pre and post millennium artificial sound scapes. especially, early club sessions in berlin since 2000 shaped the brothers view and interpretation of the input and output of electronic culture. >dieser moment< stands for an audiophile time document of their development, and at the same time awareness of >this moment<.in the year 2000 the brothers started to engage their selves in djing...

pure analogue italo-esque vocoder tackle from berlin that really hits the spot. pretty face is midtempo and slightly menacing and happy birthday shifts the tempo up a bit and treats the vocals to the other end of the vocoder spectrum. they are totally separate but sequenced so you can let the side run thru (a trick we pinched from disconet and hot tracks) or take your pick

time to look busy again, as function aka dave sumner comes rampaging through the streets of downtown berlin, kicking aside lesser producers and mauling all who stand in his way. not that you would know it from the supremely controlled affair that is his edit of >variance<. moody in the extreme, this edit sees beautiful interplay between delays and reverbs but without the track sinking into the predictable mire of dub techno. space is indeed the place..
