stepping up for its landmark tenth release is label honcho juan sanchez, who drops four slices of heavy techno funk. over the course of nine releases, format records have established itself as a very credible source for quality techno. its tenth release again perfectly captures that frisky format sound.
first up is serpent, a mid-tempo and bass-laden belter that’s followed by the darker, minimal-tinged qualia. a different place merges detroit-esque elements with tones of european techno, after which things close with no-beatsall-fx stubborn synth.
the tenth format release is a perfect snapshot of the label’s signature sound, while paving the way for many more good things to come.

amsterdam’s coveted format returns with a fresh slice of techno funk by argentinean producer flug. format’s latest offering sees flug throwing down his signature techno sound across three tracks, all of which are centered around stripped grooves and menacing fx. first up is obscure cells, which combines an infectious synth arp to an ever evolving groove with the outcome being a very hypnotic track. x28 turns things up a notch with a powerful offbeat groove and mental synth squeaks, while the highly energetic trip02 marks a venture into detroit techno territory. a highly diverse ep of a grade quality, this one... format’s ninth release has become another dancefloor damaging piece of work.

following 2014’s ‘xure’ ep, dutch producer doka returns to format with a fresh four-track release including a remix by fellow techno luminaries twr72.carved out of no-nonsense techno grooves, the ep is another prima example of format’s trademark: bold, stripped-down techno designed for peak-time clubbing moments. the title track blends in classic detroit synths to powerful tresor-style grooves, after which twr72 give it a playfully experimental makeover. ‘lommer’ throws in a pitch-black cut that’s heavy on the bass while cleverly mixing in progressive house elements, while ‘dam’ closes things by adding a lovely hypnotic twist to this release’s content. there’s no denying: this eighth format release has all the ingredients to ignite some serious floor carnage…

coming up next on format is a new ep from the label s head honcho juan sanchez including remixes by jeroen search and andre kronert. the diffy ep marks juan s first format ep released under his own name, and it s definitely one that will turn heads on the floor. the original version of diffy and mirage reflect juan s trademarked minimal but hard-as-nails techno sound: staccato kicks, nervously rattling percussions and looped synth pulses make up the fundaments of both tracks, locking in all ingredients for proper techno clubbing.up first on the remix tip is renowned techno veteran jeroen search, whose remix of diffy is a chunky piece of stripped floor funk with subtle hints of detroit techno. following up is a rerub by andre kronert, who drops a beefy slab of mid-tempo techno that s particularly heavy on the dub side of things. 007 does have a license to kill for a reason, you know...

austrian shooting star project niereich was founded in 2010. as dj/live act, producer and label co-owner of audio stimulation recordings he serves as a true multi-purpose weapon. while playing at the biggest in- and outdoor events and his releases being supported by the biggest dj s across the globe, he undoubtedly set his mark on the international dance scene. niereich is known to be rocking as there s no tomorrow. this urban format ep is packed with techno bliss and consists of 3 strong, dark and deep tracks.

incl. rod rmx! the spanish producer s label debut is another prime example of format s steady and stripped-down techno sound, which is built on hard knocking grooves and industrial twists for the darkest of clubs.

13 album tracks including an exclusive bonus cut, pressed on three 180-gram heavyweight vinyl records, housed in a bespoke clear sleeve, screen printed artwork by trevor jackson.

much like its three predecessors, the fourth format release is carved out of stripped beats, stained bass textures and a great deal of dark atmospherics that take the sound of techno back to its very foundations.

techno action

following last mays label kick-off in the form of jssl s fake facade ep, format records now invites dutch prodigy qindek for its sophomore release, which is backed up with an excellent remix by swedish techno veteran paer grindvik.

format b are back in single business! after their successful high-sea album, the two allow themself a short holiday in the romantic sample land, boiling a hissing, primeval soup called drawn to a ravers potion with which obelix would have smashed up the romans for the next 2000 years to come. as solid as the a1 bomb, the b-side continues. spinning formatesque towards sonic speed, the title rise lives up to its honour while dusk finally underlines the obvious request of this 10th formatik chief-release fatness galore!

ultraphat party primetime bomb, incl format:b remix!

the restless take a remix break! with their formatik 008, format:b presents three artists- each taking on a title of their current album to knit them in their own manner. at the head the berlin buddies pan-pot, shake the a1 with a breeze of rave-charm as usual right out of their sleeve, rocking the track liquid to its climax then glazing the peak with the smooth voice of fran. on b1 dj pp accelerates. gabriel rocha is how hes called in real life, is one of the south-american stars of the scene, delivering an energetic remix of oversexed. last but not least: the winner of the remix-contest in which format:b has listened through a house-high pile of promos is tobi kramer- a young artist of the neighborhood, who has been casted showing his talent by making out of socks and sandals one more time a club-hit.

the second format b album is booked as a big success. as a consequence the big round of remixes has been called out to which the friends from the house of formatik have been invited to. sébastien léger attacks >atomizer< with a cumulative bang like a horde of sedulous ants which are anxious to nibble on the already major sound-board to the total peak-time inferno. big-time! the intro track not only is being picked up by andhim who made out of the chill-out peace a capital dance-floor floater, also super flu casted the spherical peace for their remix. but not only the melody of >desire< has found application in their >two for one price< remix, the vocals from >liquid< as well nuzzle into the complex produced remix arrangement of the two >hallenser< to endow the hole ep the pop-crown.

now black vinyl! wow great two tracker on dapayks imprint .. incl strong format b remix on side b .. as always on ltd purple vinyl --> a side is the first single from dapayk s upcoming album -decade one-

on their last album franz and jakob aka format b were to be found covered in soot and coal, firing up the engines of the dance locomotive, now they have gone greener and swapped over to wind power and are fishing the >restless< oceans of the world. tirelessly the two sailors work on the deck disregarding the cold and the weather, pulling in the nets filled with floundering hits. this time they have spiced up the bait with the amazing voice of fran on >liquid< who turns into a working class siren and manages to rock the boat properly with track 2. keeping with the maritime theme the boys have used a harmonica on >socks and sandals< and a piano on >piano man<. classic format b can be found on >atomizer< and >oversexed< … kicking man high bass beats to thrill the four quarter beat fans, and >biker meth< is going to keep you dancing till noon (at least). even with the pressures of jet setting, label management, party organisation, building a studio, and the romantic needs of their girlfriends they have still managed to finish their first formatik album to their complete satisfaction and are extremely proud to present the first artist album on formatik records. ahoi and enjoy people!

after the huge success of the catalogue number 005, formatic records has carved the next dance board. the beginning of the new year gives thanks to the constructing dj madskillz- presenting the bottom of a noble carnival-wagon, which drills itself through the castle walls of lethargy like a trojan horse. behind it the client in person jumps out of the bellies strong vehicle and brings the format:b remix, making even more tumult in the- without a doubt from luck traced- party bodies. the communal phenomenon that dj madskillz describes as >carnival chaos< is also being picked up by ramon tapia, who (as usual) bits the celebrating horse from behind making it spit fire in front during peak-time. a movement with pyrotechnical potential in the yet young post new-years-eve-2010-era. cheers!

hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. citizens of electronica we have come down from the holy mountain to bring you the new formatik! once again with an a-side smasher psalm by the chief preachers format b. catalogue number formatik 005 shall purvey the word of the all mighty upon the dance floors. a holy place where the opening times often coincide with the sunday mass, unfortunately time is sacred so that when hearing the >gospel< there shall be little time to close your hands and pray as the nuns will already be body groovin in the aisles. with the once cold and dank air of the church at boiling point and its radiant smell having already attracted new guests, in this case super flu with their antichrist remix adding some soul to the hooklines. we say hallelujah, hallelujah!

theres movement in the formatik dog pen. the two format : b alpha dogs recently introduced their latest techno puppies with combined, and now theyre showing their teeth again. when dogs meet they dont just lick each others ears but also put on a silver dog tag. seeing as the three legged four leggers jakob and franziskus arent that happy being alone and are often seen dancing over the dog grounds wagging their tales they have decided to share their bowl with sebastien leger, the french production bulldog who always has a couple of remix scooby-snacks lying around somewhere. that is why they have given him one of their dog tags and have mutually decided that legers own dog club mistakes music will be going walkies with formatik on a regular basis. only the lady and the tramp is more romantic than that.

this is the first release of hugos new imprint goodvibe records. the bright side is the beginning of a new journey for hugo and his siblings, 3 tracks produced by hugo and one fat remix produced by format b:. contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, they give rise to each other in turn. frankie knuckles once made a comparison of house music saying it was like church for people who have fallen from grace and marshall jefferson compared it to old-time religion in the way that people just get happy and screamin. the bright side is a new-time prayer in the way that the fallen just get happy and screaming. enjoy!

wow great two tracker on dapayks imprint .. incl strong format b remix on side b .. as always on ltd purple vinyl --> a side is the first single from dapayk s upcoming album -decade one-

sebastien leger and format b deliver another double a-side for mistakes music!

the titel track rush me fuses the steinbergian house style with the lo-fi charm of the roaring 20s. it comes over slightly poppy but with a very relaxed and laid back groove. steinberg at his best! format:bs rush me remix, that has been reduced to the original vocals comes over trippy and with a good dose of bongos making it into a grooving party track. steinbergs es la vida is an elegant reduced tech house beauty. the rhythmic, percussive vocals hit on a very monotone but kicking bass line. a touch of a warm night by the sea in spain! format:bs interpretation of es la vida concentrates on the vocals and some of the percussion from the original, and combines steinbergs basics with a hypnotic synth-structure that boils up in the last third of the track until it finally explodes! all tracks arent scared to admit that theyre aiming for the peak time. 4* different styles. kick ass!

full support from noze, hot chip, solomun, karotte, mandy, luciano!!

played by anja schneider !!! the first catalogue number from the house of formatik comes from format:b the a-side (hotrod) is a pushing, wooden battering monster in the typical format:b manner the hugo remix gallops through the house arena like a thoroughbred stallion. extremely wonky breaks paired with a post modern house beat makes it the perfect alternative. redux on the b-side is a heavyweight techno layout. sirens, massive baselines and a dark atmosphere that sometimes, but only sometimes, reminds you of old black and white horror films make this track the perfect addition to this first ep.

excellent new format b longplayer... fresh minimal tech phunk floorburner... played by karotte & jesse rose

material next big hit!! this one is being played by every dj in techno scene!!! simple as that !! ltd green coloured 12inch edition...

kev gorman is definitely one of the producers to look out for over the next few months. fergie has been absolutely hammering his stuff over the last few months particularly the format track which features here on this first release on kev s own label - mikrowave. in fact it was fergie s speaker freaker some weeks ago. he is launching this label with four amazing releases all with 1 track remixed by a big artist on the flipside. kev also has a release coming on hell s gigolo label in the autumn. the track itself is very electronic in feel with catchy synth hooks and a european feel and will have great appeal. if that wasnt enough on the flipside we have a deadly bass heavy grooving minimal remix from patrick skoog under his agaric name similar in style to his >we are< releases. ltd restock...

excellent new format b longplayer... fresh minimal tech phunk floorburner... played by karotte & jesse rose

smooth electro disco tunes incl remixes by detroit grand pubahs and patrick pulsinger

great minimalism driven funky techno !! incl format b remix

exclusive tracks by format b, guido schneider & jens bond, luna city express, resmann & meinhardt! strong package!!

yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!

jeder schuss ein treffer dürfte wohl das motto von format b sein denn hier sind die nächsten drei knaller !!
