behind this german-sounding pseudonym hides a lyrical, subtle and ambitious techno. mondkopf reveals on this ep his most federative facet with a tracklist in which immediacy never sacrifices imagination. this combination of a techno basis, trancy hooks and electronica sound processing make these nuits sauvages (wild nights) ambivalent, conquering and melancholy. la dame en bleu, his major piece, is already an underground hymn. les oiseaux de balthazar, mixes vocal pads, bells and birdcalls in a fantasy techno universe on a dynamic tempo. the result, once again, sounds absolutely unique. nuit sauvage softens the layers to emphasis on crunchy riffs and strong kicks, to finally come back to an epic dimension, always around in mondkopfs songs. remix side, matzak got hold of the very mental christmas, keeping its electro spirit.

enigmatic producer kaºpar delivers 6 tracks which vary from punchy electronics to breezy house. first track, in the club comes in a wicked gerd remix and moves forward with a driving, deep bassline aided and abetted by punchy drums, fluttering rhodes and kaspar & his friends tripping, stoned & abstract vocals. its an 6 minute opus which navigates a shifting array of predominantly instrumental passages, featuring some fine solos and never tiring before its sudden end. house of cards and calvary centre themselves much more on kaºpars versatile ability to create pumping house that leans to the new york sound and float between house, jazz and soul. the whole affair plots a course through a constellation of styles suitable for both home listening as well as dj-play. this is house, not the lazy off the peg kind, but music which lives up to its name

minus has released a first rate selection of home grown artist albums over the past 18 months, with heartthrob, false and gaiser all creating long players of real substance and this trend is set to continue in 2009 with arguably the label’s most significant release of recent times. louderbach’s long awaited second album autumn represents another jump in the evolutionary cycle of minimal techno, having developed from the largely instrumental project that gave us enemy love into a fully-fledged song based outfit. as a result, autumn has a much deeper feel than its predecessor and indeed breaks new ground, with the dark metaphors of gibby miller’s often chilling vocal performances fitting hand-in-glove with the ominous landscapes and broken architecture that troy pierce constructs so effectively. drawing on shared influences such as bauhaus, coil and joy division, the duo have conceived an album of emotional depth and exquisite detail, appropriating the best elements of these early-eighties pioneers and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens to achieve a perfect balance of style and content. it’s the result of an unspoken understanding that spans thousands of miles from their respective homes in l.a. and berlin and this distant intimacy is a naturally occurring theme throughout the album, manifesting itself as dark, twilight tales of melancholy romance, burning obsession and the slow, disintegration of desire

daniel steinberg continues to have great sucess on labels such as microfon, grandpetrol and stylerockets and is also the main representative for front room recordings. with his last e.p, featuring >keep on movin< and >dont you know?<, enjoying such widespread sucess we thought we should call upon the remix skills of roman flügel and siopis for this release. roman has been artistically active sine the 1990s with his own labels playhouse, ongaku musik and klang elektronik contributing some of the best house around throughout the years. his remixes for the likes of pet shop boys, human league, primal scream and kylie minogue have garnered him a worldwide recognition and now he delivers in true style to front room. siopis, fresh from his get physical release >penny from the lane<, has also recently remixed mr. static which has further pushed his name into the international dance music vocabulary. his work can also be spotted on some of the most prominent labels like get physical, bpitch control and crosstown rebels to name a few. three quality remixes making one brilliant e.p that maintains front room at the top of its game.

la danse de l hibouthe fourth release with bucketround follows the path left by his past references, not disregarding the exploration of new horizons. oval future face (bucketround recs) grants us his peculiar way of understanding electronic music. avoiding the hype or settled guidelines la danse de l hibou brings us right in the middle of the night where nocturnal birds of prey hunt. we are in front of his deepest work so far, full of details and rhythmical shifts shrouded in minimal sound with its own soul... as if it was meant to be just for this work, it is apt for lounge listening, dancefloors or even forests. the re mixes collection does not fall short on quality: pablo bolivar (regular) as usual everything he touches turns into gold and this time pablo does not disappoint. nimble groove full of hectic changes and sudden pauses enriches this melodic remake. a real dancefloor hit. angel galan (add sensor) theres no rule for crafting remixes and angel is the clearest example. an amazing explosion of multicolor strokes transformed into tangled logic sound.
