limitierte pressung für minimal-fans auf 180 gramm vinyl.

a journey through the eyes of the sons and daughters of the four seasons. intricate and deliberate, soft spoken yet focused, the sophomore release on crihan s mezin imprint attempts to deliver a complementary aural experience to the perception of time and evolution thereof, through his own acoustic sensibilities.

welcome little brother, or mezin, to the start of your new adventure with “ramane intre noi ep”. constantly experimenting and evolving, the next logical step for alin was creating an outlet to let loose some of his music, new, old, or in between. with early support from petre inspirescu, rhadoo, cezar or sammy dee, this little brother’s journey is just beginning.

the third truelovesounds vinyl is coming from our friend alin crihan - bucharest/romania. the „grosso modo“ ep is an outstanding two tracker record which conveys some meaningful, compelling and ghostlike elements combined with its own groove and rythm. limited copies! 300 copies

for its seventh installment paragram welcomes two east european talents, rabotnic and crihan. bez tapok is a deep exploration into dark immersive soundscapes and multi-layered experimental sounds. each track is a representation of the artists personal take on finely crafted grooves and sound designed elements.

it is no exaggeration to say that ultrastretch has accumulated an array of outstanding releases and artists since its creation in 2011. one knows that being as renown a representative of the underground music scene as sammy dee is, he can easily sign music from any established artist he would like, the so called ‘big names’, however, when we look at the past seven releases on ultrastretch, the agenda here seems to be another. what has become an apparent and admirable feature of this label/platform and of sammy dee himself is his clear support for new music from young and yet to be discovered talents. it is on that note that ultrastretch 08 brings you romanian artist crihan. hailing from a small town close to cluj, alin crihan moved to bucharest in 2009 to be more in touch with the underground scene and music in the capital as it poses more opportunities for him to grow and develop. from dj’ing in the most various clubs in his home country, his first steps into western europe as a dj came earlier last year at no less than the legendary robert johnson club alongside petre inspirescu in frankfurt. producing under his real name for the past four years, crihan’s release for ultrastretch brings two tracks, setting the listener into two very distinctive paths. the a side, * uelden* is a dance floor oriented track. the first words to come to mind are groove and rhythm, giving the track a somewhat funky feeling overall. the elements have been crafted carefully and therefore appropriately placed just where and when you need them. by simply starting the track with a bass line and shuffling hihats he slowly develops to a journey that not onlyventures further into groove and rhythm but also in mind grabbing harmonies with deep/airy sounding pads giving it a comforting sense of beauty and obscurity. the b side is called a doua dimensiune, literally translated from romanian it means the second dimension. doing justice to the title the track does generate the feeling of being in another dimension. it is a very deep affair into mind-altering soundscapes, very atmospheric and at times dark and obscure. attention to detail is apparent judging by the overlayering of elements featured in this track. a constant rolling base formed of water tapping ambient sounds give way to harmonies made up of strings and random noises on top.

seite a ist ein meisterhaft gefertigter dancefloor track, wo die hochdichten, dynamischen minimal grooves präzise eingesetzt werden. auf der seite b haben wir den rumänischen nachwuchs crihan, bekannt für veröffentlichungen auf ultrastretch, naural und eliptic.

limited repress! stomping grounds was never about riding the waves, but building things in a slow pace and mantaining the balance. since the very inception we have gone on to feature emerging talent as well as paying homage to scene established artists. this release is no different than the others, featuring v.i.c.a.r.i., discret popescu (aka crihan), jay bliss and some fresh blood from stav (aka inhere) and dragos ilici. all four cuts on the record are built around stripped-back and hypnotic grooves, sprinkled with melodic and sophisticated textures on top. as always, final touches are from berlins schnittstelle mastering.

label run by alin crihan

very limited repress. you re forgiven if you ve never heard of discret popescu, neither did we, until we started digging a bit deeper. mr. popescu comes from palinka-land, a quiet place where nothing out of the ordinary happens very often. perhaps that s why he s developed such an interesting and groovy approach to his music. digging a bit deeper into his background, it came as no surprise that discret popescu is in fact, the ying to alin crihans yang, the lighter more playful side of his sonic universe.

paragram releases #7, 8 & 9 all bundled up for one special price!

nice price deal !!! supported by: danny howells, timo maas, alexander maier, wagon cookin, jimpster, roberto rodriguez, jonny cruz, oliver klein, axel bartsch, dairmount, alland byallo, ed davenport, daso, deepchild, mihai popoviciu, the model, simon garcia & many more... we are really proud to announce our second release on white rabbit music. long fellow and white rabbit sympathizer alin >aeromaschine< crihan delivered 2 briliant tracks which will go directly into your head and feets. he is one of the most upcoming talents from romania. tracks on baalsaal and poker flat will follow. on the remix duty we asked cosmic cowboys and oliver deutschmann. both did an amazing job and transformed the originals into 2 different interpretations. oliver deutschmanns mix reminds to some groovey early 90s house while the cosmic cowboys remix move into the deeper fields and makes you go insane. but words are all in vain so have a listen and satisfy yourself. cheers from the rabbit hole.

the first track, moaning, has a linear feeling at the beginning: a layer of bass lines makes your feet move instantly until some subtle piano sounds come in at the perfect moment. it creates an atmospheric vibe and when the bass kicks in again, everything seems to fall into place. cosmjn’s interpretation is, as expected, more serious and it has a no-nonsense approach: stripped of the melodic piano sounds, a strong bass line takes over, which makes for an interesting contrast to the original track.
if moaning was a more gentle track, fr sa su is a little bit different: dance floor oriented, the rhythm is certainly higher and it has some intriguing background sounds that go hand in hand with the powerful bass that grows on you from the start of the track. the florian meffert remix closes this ep and it goes out on a strong note: it is a complex track with very different elements and sounds that complement each other just right to get things going.
with early support from: barac, mihigh, dubtil , cristi cons, petre inspirescu , sepp , crihan
