already on the decks for a couple of years and a established regular dj at schwarzes schaf (the black sheep) in augsburg (along with daniel bortz), dominik marz now also shows his talent as a sensitive and highly talented producer. after his resent debut on leipzigs infamous o*rs label the >shmoozen ep< is his first release on pastamusik. leon holstein provided production support during the studio sessions. the tracks stand out with relaxed and at the same evermore deeply moving tone. while it sounds so effortless and easy, each of these three pieces contains a great deal of high tension that gets its audience inevitably into the mood to swing. dominik is on his way to provide lessons in creating lascivious beats and enchanting atmospheres which make us wait for his next emotional strikes

praterei returns with their 5th instalment and so do those twins with their second successive offering to the vienna stable! the ingredients on this one are similar to the last but the result is no less stirring. the rough and ready side of the 12 belongs to the aptly entitled >house< and youll see why. never straying too far from the old school... shuffling beats and rims keep things swinging. each layer of the melody is deep in youll be whistling this later territory and intermittent vocal shouts remind us exactly what it is we are listening to. the flip beckons for you to walk with me and that you must. the beat saunters along but always with a sanguine skip and our seductive protagonist guides us through the warm textures of rich pads and stabs. this is one of those records where, for both tracks, the message could not be more perfectly translated. every aspect contributes to a common goal, and thats a rare and quite special thing.

dope me / does caroline know? is a slightly clubbier affair-less sun ra and more soul capsule-but still possesses the air of strangeness that makes the duo so unique. each artist leaves his mark within the first few measure of dope me. the steady high-hats and flawless kick drum are straight out of dazes playbook, while the nervous piano and 3 chairs-style claps are unmistakably bruno. as for the slurred vocal pleading >dope me..dope me<, thats anyones guess. the track carries on for a solid nine minutes as half-melodies and quasi-hooks slide in and out of the mix. the b-side, does caroline know?, takes us deeper and darker. the drums are plodding, the mood is ominous, and a series of dreamlike flourishes add to an already eerie groove. like the a-side, its a surrealistic style of house that only these two could deliver. the artwork, as usual, is done by daze maxim.

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

we are very pleased to welcome bleak on deeply rooted house for his second release on the label, a pure techno 4 track ep and one of the strongest deeply rooted so far! dj deep:i have been very impressed with bleaks talent and how he can combine different styles of techno and still produce very personal music. each track, in my opinion, has a life of its own, it starts in a certain way, and takes you to different places. the arrangements are very subtle, sometimes hypnotic, very intense and emotional, the way the drums evolve and drive the tracks, or how deep chords apear in the back ground taking the track to a differrent territory etc.i hope youll like this 12inch as much as i do!

following last years acclaimed curse of soft rocks album, were invited to revisit said masterpiece from an alternative entry — a robust compilation of remixes. each track is wildly re-contextualized leaving us with a beautifully obtuse yet complimentary rendering. personnel employed vary in style and technique drastically, but such is the ethos of soft rocks, and furthermore the esp institute. at the end of the day, we implore you to shut up and listen. on this 12inch (the second of 3 surrounding the revenge of soft rocks remix album) esp mainstays cos/mes deliver a deep and sensual yet sinister take on little lights, and side b reveals an upbeat dubbed out version of wicker man by zurichs own lexx (running back, permanent vacation, leng) good lord this is quite a piece of wax!

in italys deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. you can smell, taste and feel it. it s cold sweat. from constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. some say, its only paranoia. but you can t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. who are they? they are invisible. you can only see the bloodshed and the tears. and like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. this is the life of jack curtu. and his music takes you there. three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. senza via duscita - theres no way out! lux rec knows.

we are proud to release the second ep from the new fluxion album on echocord. this work is about his travels in music. the sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the music influences deriving from them. through his prism those sounds, pictures, travels, emotions left traces of new directions, of future journeys to take. fluxion captured the motion in his travels with a different feeling each time. >eruption< is maybe the most powerfull deep dubby track from the traces album, perfect for the dancefloor. >motion 3< and >motion 2< are beautifull floating dubby tracks. finally morphosis did a remix of >eruption<, pure killer madness for the dancefloor. after a decade in the field of dub, techno, ambient, fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.
