born and raised in tokyo, living in berlin since may 2007, akiko kiyama presents on neo010 two wonderful minimal- tracks, synthetic, acrylic, rough and raw, sober and straight, shy and yet damn clubby. akiko - whose delicately reduced musical style is partly defined by some earlier 12 inch releases on m-nus creates a fragile and surprising cosmos of subtle rhythmical structures and wobbling guttural waveforms, all this combined with this very special female approach that people all around the globe seem to love more and more. for those who like it a little bit less minimal, there are two remixes included. we have one by humantronic, the minitech (or tech?) berserk from france, who re-establishes an industrially strict balance of pumping and knitting sounds, with almost trancy elements good and healthy food for the club community

palette is proud to debut its newest artist, dave hughes. the irish born, la-resident sound engineer finally let palette in on his music making secrets. the result is daves debut ep >lets do it<. a three tracker showcasing what is to come from this visionary artist. >lets do it< kicks the ep off with a strong rhythmic solid base which alone would be enough to solidify it as a stand out track, but without delay the song quickly develops into a musical journey with rhythmic chords at the end providing the icing on the cake. the flip side provides two more tracks of the same calibre, >it all deepends< and >realization< showcase great sound design skills and a message about our own humanity. take in to account the heavy subs and intricate drum programming and you have what we feel to be a classic palette recordings single

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

first harlem electric release ever, produced by mastermind steve lawler. a must have record

the record was born too early, when house music was still very underground, so consequently it passed into house music history with only a very few discerning djs and collectors owning original us copies. in keeping with chicagos musical history, one of the unsung heros of house has been drafted in to keep the new versions feet firmly on the ground. craig loftis aka grand high priest who along with joe promised land smooth on keys! give the track a more understated could upstate from london back to chicago with 3 killa mixes

supported by laurent garnier, mike monday, miss kittin, tiga… right after the tremendous debut release by paul panzer, here comes the second slammer on the new born label called knall. the cryptic rod todd keeps it minimal on his>its dangerous< release. super-functional micro tech patterns underneath insane licks and vocal snips make the title track a truly paranoid minimal rave-journey. dangerous indeed. the b-side brings in some serious mad-max afterhour vibes. driving & repetitive, deep & disturbing… not only for the berliners

more madness by the lobby. >gutter poetry< is a further introduction into the lobbys perception of hip-hop. dry electric grooves combined with 8bit gimmickry supplied by chantal goret define the a-side. the b-side starts with the sampled sonic story of tasteless catfights and gratuitous violence. the lobby finishes through >the muddy way<, heavy bass from behind

sunset diskos presents jens lodén, he released a couple of records for dialog recordings (sonar kollektiv). anyway jens presented his version of minimal funk for us, and we fell immediately for his feeling for groove, something we lack in most so called >minimal< these days. not to be forgotten in this context: jens general background as a superb electric bass player. so what we have here is two stunning examples of straight back minimal funk, presented under the disguise as tech house.. jens presents his production in a unique style, really hard to describe or compare to other productions around , so you got to hear it for yourself..
