seit seiner ersten veröffentlichung auf bpc vor drei jahren pflegt thomas einen unverwechselbaren sound, dessen eigenwillige und detailverliebte soundgestaltung den eindruck stetiger bewegung bei gleichzeitigem stillstand vermittelt. die daraus resultierende spannung erweckt eine ebenso unwiderstehliche wie eigenartig anmutende, maschinenhafte lebendigkeit. während thomas sein klangliches markenzeichen auf vergangenen eps und remixen - u.a. für telefon tel aviv und cormac - perfektioniert und etabliert hat, stösst er nun mit jedem track seiner aktuellen ep >neurones< neue türen auf.

includes cd of the album arabxilla!
the debut album from the venezuelan aerea negrot is one of those records which speak with such intensity that her deepest emotions are instantly laid bare to the listener. this heartfelt account in music and words relays her unique outlook and life story to the world without a hint of inhibition.

das gleichnamige album des italienischen duos we love überzeugte als wahrscheinlich charmanteste liebeserklärung an das leben, die liebe und die popmusik des vergangenen jahres. mit der ep >timeless< legen sie jetzt ihre zweite bpitch control veröffentlichung mit neuen songs nach. musikalisch sucht ihr eleganter mix aus minimal-wave-pop, dezenten gitarren, new order reminiszenzen und den eindringlichen vocals seinesgleichen. die flipside gehört ganz dem dancefloor. hier finden sich zwei ebenso episch ausgedehnte wie reduziert arrangierte remixe von titeln des debütwerks. >ice lips< enthält eine schlankheitskur von tale of us, die bereits auf cocoon, barraca music und life & death veröffentlichten und u.a. einen grandiosen remix für who made who anfertigten. ein absolutes highlight ist sicher auch der troy pierce remix von >even if<. troy pierce releases auf minus gelten als klassiker des genres!

how many people would have believed such a thing could work? would diva-like vocal grace and cool, calculated club sound efficiency not react like matter and anti-matter upon contact with one another? yet perhaps this is where the secret of her distant charm lies, the glamorously crafted cool, the vague elusiveness of aérea negrot. last year the venezuelan vocal wonder silenced any doubters with her first single >all i wanna do<, creating a new platform for her boundless range of musical expression alongside her career singing with hercules & love affair. now her second 12 inch is coming out on bpitch - just in time to set the tone for her coming solo album. the berlin sound wizard tobias freund is on hand once more to produce and mix ìright body, wrong timeî. he has commanded the mixing desk for a whole host of artists and labels from minus to warner over the last twenty years or so and made himself a regular fixture in the bpitch sound cosmos with his production work for ellen allien, dance disorder, heartthrob and indeed aérea negrot

its just over a year ago that the producer duo dance disorder were celebrating their illustrious bpc debut with the epic italo-dance-inspired hit >zusammen<. now the show must go on - with >metallic italic< georgina fernandez, aka baby g, and robin crafoord are exceeding the path of consistency from the lead out groove of their last record to the point that even crosstown rebels label boss damian lazarus discovered >metallic italic< for his upcoming mix cd >get lost 4<!

before the renaissance of vocals in club music starts to get out of hand, a few blueprints are being drawn up: standards that the brilliance of future vocal track producers can be measured against. the greek producer mr. statik, has put together three such tracks for his first bpitch control release. three emotional tracks which really make you want to get dressed up each time you listen in order to properly revel in their sophistication.

skinnerboxes first bpitch 12 inch >anapol< is the culmination of about seven years of performing experience. iftah gabbai and olaf hilgenfeld casually juggle colourful house, jazz and funk elements like its their second nature. and the metamorphosis from anarchistic improv chaos to form and structure in no way impinges on the level of energy in their music - in fact, just the opposite is the case, as the newly discovered sense of auditory space in the tracks allows them to significantly concentrate each tracks power.

no time to take a breather, no time for a contemplative chill session - the second edition of bpitch control s werkschau (showcase) cd is about to hit the shelves! in line with the overall bpitch showcase concept, the new release is in no way just another run-of-the-mill compilation of best-of tracks, but rather a selection of extraordinary and highly functional club gems that represent bpitch s harmonious concept as perfectly as they demonstrate its musical breadth. the most noticeable characteristics the three extended versions share are their vocal presence and the extremely distinctive way that the artists make use of language and voice. in contrast, the fact that the ep is perfectly arranged for the dance floor comes across as almost a matter of course, and every track exhibits this inherent feeling in equal parts - with it truly coming to life in cormacs >the present<, which opens the albums a-side.

after ellen alliens album >dust< kicked up a lot of the same in 2010, it was only a matter of time until the right remixers for the album were found. no less than the creme de la creme of today s house scene was allowed to have their way with these tracks. and the results are more than fitting. although we have already burned a full-length cd containing all of the remixes they created, we are not planning on leaving the vinyl-loving faction (or whats left of them) out in the cold either. this 12 inch features three powerful club tracks from three outstanding remixers. each unrivalled in their own space.

initially, it seems like the original track by chaim is impeccable. and yet kiki, arto mwambe and deniz kurtel each succeed in showing us a very special shade of the life-affirming track, adding to it and sending it out into the world bursting with power.

whilst the bpitch control >werkschau< cd showcases the label and its 12-year history in its entire stylistic breadth, the first single from this exceptional album is predominantly about one thing: dancing! thats why we are not settling for album track lengths her, the single release is packed full of extended versions - made by ellen allien, sascha funke and moderat.

chaim avital brings a glow to revellers hearts. the producer and dj from tel aviv is loved like a star for his melodic dancefloor elegies. this charming musician has opened up house music to his own unique sound cosmos, he takes delight in a new and distinct spectrum of emotions. he unlocks the club cosmos, moulds moods and sounds into a universal pop language and seduces us with enchanting grooves. this first single from his debut album >alive<, due for release in february, fills the listener with euphoric longing. the sweet, intimate surrender of >u & eye< takes your breath away.

thomas muller has most definitely found his sound. following two splendid remixes for his bpitch label-mates cormac and telefon tel aviv, he finally indulges us with a complete 12 inch from his own sound lab. a masterpiece without a doubt.

das debut album des italienischen duos >we love< war eins der sommerhits 2010. mit ihrer ersten 12inch überraschen sie nicht nur mit ihrer ganz eigenen und funktionellen club interpretation sondern auch mit den remix-spezialisten johnny d und ellen allien. tip!

a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually youd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aÚrea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now - as a taste of whats to come on her album next year - she is releasing her first ep on bpitch...

few artists can lay claim to such a continuous output as bpc resident joakim ijäs, better known as kiki. for kiki, continuity also means permanently developing his musical vision - his superb second album kaiku is testament to this. the current 12 inch >cinema obscura< follows on seamlessly from us house traditions, yet also reduces them to absurdity with its atmospheric density and sonic extravagance.

>our utopie< radiates this epic vitality, embodies the exhilarating feeling that something is just beginning here that affects us all: the sky, the taste... we count 1... 2... 3... and we’re still here. eyes closed, breathing in the birdsong and feeling the breeze tingling through your hair as it only ever does in the morning hours of a world-class rave.

some things seem to have a symbiotic relationship. prime example: a low-key electronic soundscape that leaves room for roaming thoughts, inhabited by an ethereal voice that colours in the musical silhouettes conjured in the minds eye. for his first ep since the >mango remixes< in 2008, sascha funke calls upon russian nina kraviz to make a feature appearance. with her releases on rekids, b77 and underground quality, this young woman has brought a rare combination of talents to bear: she sings, plays and produces with an equally astounding level of expertise. so what we have here is an encounter between of germanys most incisive techno producers and a singer of considerable charisma.

with her new album, dust, ellen removes the sense of remoteness entirely. a warm immediacy takes centre stage in place of distanced artistic abstraction. as such, what is perhaps ellens most personal album takes the form of a complete spectrum of her creative output to date, a cross-section in time which also looks ahead to previously untrodden paths... the world according to ellen!

excellent emotional 12 inch, incl rmxs from alexi delano & nicolas jaar!

who said the wait wouldnt be worth it? the brothers in house fritz zander and sven von thülen have made themselves somewhat scarce over the past year. after having impressed in 2008 with their ep >get up<, remixes for artists including ratman, elphine and oorsprong, and tracks on the watergate 02 compilation, their audible activities the following year remained confined to fritz zanders superb 12 inch >connection< and successful compilation appearances on >ten years cocoon ibiza< and >time warp<. now there is finally something new, and the current zander vt release certainly lives up to the promise of its title: >some more< picks up where >get up< left off. its fourno-frills house pearls prove resoundingly that continuity doesnt have to entail standing still.

chaim, the sound architect from tel aviv, is slowly but surely taking his place amongst the bpitch residents. the specialist in sonic witchcraft is keeping us in regular supply of 12inch insights into his fine art.

barefoot wanderer dürfte ohne zweifel zu den größeren Überraschungen des noch recht jungen jahres zählen

jay haze aka fuckponys superb ode to love in general and loved-up ravers in particular provides us with another sparkling gem: the second single from his current lp has the equally romantic and revealing title >i m burning inside<. it allows us to clearly feel that love-fuelled power, but never lets us get close enough to the fire to get seriously burned. jays sound is simply a tad too cool for that. despite all the emotional appeal, he always keeps a wink in store to save us right at the brink. the remixers reboot and paul ritch give far more obvious signals. both of them say loud and clear: dance!

raw hypnotic / groovy techno smasher !! very well 12 inch!!

>fall into me< finally marks the release of the last and keenly awaited single from jay haze aka fuckponys masterpiece >let the love flow<. the album title says it all - >fall into me< sounds incredibly light, yet catchy and full of energy - a free fall onto the worlds softest pillow. this is how house must sound to lovers. house with soul can be taken literally in this case, as jay has called upon the expert support of laila tov and chela simone. the latterenjoys an international standing and has already lent her sublime, very unique voice to kikis hit single >good voodoo<. here she combines inextricably with jays compact sound aesthetic and makes >fall into me< positively shine.with its atmospheric intro and broad musical range, the original on the a-side sees a welcome reappearance of certain must-have features which will have the hairs on your neck standing up... the accompanying video was shotby emmy nominee daniel michael gahr with chela simone and laila tov in the woods of san francisco.
marco passarani has done the honours on the flip side. a workaholic from the eternal city of rome, marco is the linchpin of the italian techno scene. he produces under the aliases js pool, monomorph and ambit 3 for the labels skam, hymen, clone and peacefrog, and also runs his own labels plasmek, pigna and nature records marcos >fall into me< remix is unmistakably influenced by hiscarefully nurtured detroit roots. however, he employs these stylistic elements very discreetly, retains beats, melody and vocals in his arrangement, takes out a little of the decorative padding from the album, then finally hits us with a wonderful, trancey eight-tone sequence to send us into the realm of dancefloor dreams for ever.

the waiting is finally over! after all the ups and downs of the past year, we can happily report that joshua eustis now firmly intends to continue telefon tel aviv as a solo project. in order to mark his decision with a bang, thewonderful title track >immolate yourself< is being released as the second single from the current lp. the song has been entrusted to highly acclaimed and diverse remix artists who have skilfully stripped down the epic album track to more club-friendly formats.
the a side is delivered by label-mate thomas muller, whose finely detailed techno soundscapes can now be enjoyed on five bpc 12 inch releases. his >immolate< remix takes a much more direct approach. he reduces the lush arrangement of the original to a powerful basic framework, leaves out the vocals almost entirely, and creates a surprise when the track crumbles into sonic chaos towards the end.
miss fitz aka maayan nidam has had singles released on labels including raum musik and freak n chic, and these have been remixed by renowned artists such as ricardo villalobos. her version of >immolate< also makes a clear break from the album track and serves up her very own brand of abstract, dancefloor-friendly house. once again, all the opulence of the original is thrown overboard, a dry beat is placed at the centre of the arrangement and enriched with sinuous vocals.
ben klock needs no further introduction - he is the epitome of the bleak, hard minimal sound. his album >one< is currently available on ostgut ton, and as a remixer he has earned the highest acclaim for his version of depeche modes >peace<. bens >jack mix< is fittingly titled and lives up to all the expectations of the name. the track is stripped back to a resounding, hammer-like beat framework - minimised for maximum effect.
bpitch legend sascha funke delivers a surprise with another astoundingly reduced remix, at least by his standards. he turns away from the melodic richness of his current album >mango< in favour of repetitive fragments and an extended arc of tension which will surely make his >immolate< remix a massive after-hour hit.

ada and kiki rework >so easy to forget< on this 2005 bpitch control release.

2002 classic!

2nd part with more prime time techno !! hier wird kräftig nachgewaschen , blitze blank wie eine preussische haubitze das ganze ...

anja schneiders accomplishments need no introduction as she transforms kikis manic mood compelling title into a modern sounding hegemonic dj-friendly house track. after a spooky intro, holger zilske sets a super-fat, bouncy beat in the middle of the track as serene funk sounds circulate a new life as well as a second face - a real stroke of genius

nice price deal !!! ganz dickes remix paket mit remixen von heartthrob (minus), fritz zander (memo), kiki (bpitch), clp (shitkatapult)
