the extraordinary prolongation of sound jerked polly’s pretty head away from her work at the calibration machine. today’s jobs had seen her at her thorough and meticulous best but as afternoon melted easily into evening, these latest reverberations meant she’d no longer be able to focus to the level required. her boss had just dropped the bomb. as her ear drums filtered the noise, the technician’s bright mind was flooded with delight, her eyes no longer felt dry and tight with concentration, she was caught riding the crest of a massive wave of admiration. sitting her specs on the desk and pushing herself off the comfortable heat of her work stool, miss filla let the soundwaves pull her to her feet and carry her off to the main source of the captivating music. in honour of dixon avenue basement jams spending four years at the forefront of the global electronic music scene a new release was planned to shake the foundation to the very core. techno wizard big miz had been charged with delivering the goods and by the gods, the glaswegian had cracked it! he’d created, not just new tunes, but a whole new fucking genre. polly could feel the vibrations pulsating through every part of her curvaceous body as she sashayed along to the seductive beat.

following two radical reinterpretations earlier this summer from truncate and yaleesa hall, which earned plays from roman flügel, laurent garnier and ben sims to dusky and huxley, kameras ventoux ep is further expanded with two remixes that tastefully expand the producers original vision of uncompromising body music. festival and club favourite george fitzgerald is on hand first, delivering a blistering remix of cosignia, one of his personal favourite club records in recent times. here, fitzgerald continues his masterful streak of production, knowingly blending the somewhat menacing machine throb of the original with a suspenseful bassline, eventually culminating in a heavenly, ethereal breakdown, one thats certain to leave bigger rooms in throes. meanwhile, throwing snows remix of title track ventoux deconstructs the bright, idm inspired anthem into something equally frenetic yet utterly different. punchy live drums begin to escalate over a deeply satisfying electronic snarl, recalling throwing snows noted fascination with post-rock, while maintaining the tempo with naturally evolving elements of industrial and ebm

after his recent release on clone a made up sound (aka 2562) presents his new platform for his own beat freakery. it is no news anymore that dave huismans is one talented guy! his debut 2562 album was one of last years highlights ... and his new album set for early winter 09 will be not create a smaller buzz! in the meanwhile mr huismans also managed to squeeze out some killer tracks out of his machines for his a made up sound project! these 2 tracks will get a limited run on his newly started label. >rework< started out as a sneaky bonus remix but ended up as a killer techno track in its own right, with stomping 4/4 beats, an irresistibly simple 3 note chord melody and gut-wrenching sub bass. contrasting is >closer< on the flip, where a yearning vocal stab spirals around a warm synth line that just keeps on building over signature punchy broken beats and a big b-line, all the way until its climaxing breakdown. highly recommended!

limited to 250 copies 7’’inch vinyl. niagara reporting: ascender 003. ida is a straight line. no distractions. three big bull inna one direction. bass and drums making space for the melodica and the whispers to fill in the space. on the flip, an entirely different beast. volta is all about the enthusiasm of playing music. breathing through a harmonica, some bass, some momentum and an odd barking voice. and then, there is calor, the heat melting the machines. note about calor: this song is meant to be listened to at very low volume, so it will blend in with the sounds of your own room.

punctual is a stripped back, bleepy warehouse machine that hits hard but is versatile and funky. remix duties are taken care of by alex under from spain. after patrick s 12 on alex s cmyk musik it was time to invite alex into his community and alex delivered big time. alex refines the main ideas in the track, boiling it down to a solid groove and adding a killer bass riff that sounds like it was meant to be there all along.
