a killer 10 inch back in stock !!
closing off the trilogy of 10 years of perc trax vinyl eps is the labels first ever 10 inch release. drawing together two of the deeper and more experimental tracks from * slowly exploding*, the ep pairs label founder perc with one of his longest influences, zhark recordings main man kareem. first up kareem brings a touch of deeper berlin-tinged techno to perc trax, built upon a rock solid kick and drenched in moody urban atmospherics, then perc closes the this vinyl series with a spiralling analogue noise exercise that builds and builds until live drums tear through the wall of bass tones...

music is about discourse: it’s about ideas, about the intellectual project. anyone can build a “beat”, but not everybody can produce an interesting argument for it. this implies the idea of romanticism as a notion of tradition and respect for certain rules. romanticism understood as virtuosity in the manipulation of art production tools. virtuosi of their own methodology. certain pedigree of virtuosity is definitely needed…but in many regards it also remains an extremely conventional formalism, which is at the core of every artist. it doesn’t matter if you have to piss around in the subterranean electronic music trenches for over two decades. a true pioneer simply has to live with that sort of dichotomy. here there are two good examples.

introducing rydim to the platte family with two intelligently crafted and versatile cuts. including remixes by cristopher rau and kareem.

nearly 1, 5 years after his last bouq release brooklyn s finest techno export and inmotion records boss kareem cali is back on amir s label. together with the duo proudly people from milan/italy he created 3 stripped down techno tools just perfect for the club floors.

co produced by steve poindexter this ep presented kareem smith to the world. all superb deep cuts here from 1991 full of soul and attitude. re released in conjunction with trax 2015.

for its 5th release, badance comes back with a singular ep from the young talented producer, kareem ali. aged of 20, he released last year his first mini album on hakim murphy&#146,s label, synapsis. based in new york, the productions of this young diy producer are well nourished by jazz and american grooves influences.

our next big release at bad barbie, going out on digital and 12 inch, comes by the hand of aldo cadiz itself, but this time partnered with kareem cali. these two made a fantastic three track ep called monita ep. the first track monita presents a solid base created with a classic tech style and an extremely groovy bass line. full of small arrangements and a crazy vocal line, this tracks its perfect for any club dj. the second track bonita, is the one with the more old school vibe, from the bass line to the main acid synth, which goes evolving softly with a filter during the track to generate the needed tension. all this with a strong tech groove to follow the step of this solid ambience created by the acid synths. the last track moni, also has many techno and acid elements presents. we can perceive the techno soul mainly on the arrangement of the hi-hats and bass line, but the acid synth in triplet at the backend is what generates the crazy vibe and almost hypnotic feeling during the track, playing around with the volume of it. definitely a fantastic release to add to any collection.

retro-2000-style-pad-house tune with distinct reinterpretations by dj spider, oskar offermann and philipp boston!

jet set and cccp could be viewed as a continuation of kareems caspian gold ep. it shares the broken structure however adding more detailed and complex arrangements to the approach of technoid percussive noizcore. both tracks break a little with the more static direction of caspian gold and especially jet set emphasises on the power of continues modulations with skull breaking precision resulting in merciless sonic depravation.

jazz and house newcomer some trumpet, some keys, and some samples, with solid beats and melodies for his debut 12 inch. hailing from the nyc, kareem created eight tunes that show off his imaginative composing skills.

kareem cali, the master behind brooklyns label inmotion music, is back on amir and butchs imprint with his first proper ep.

7 years after the last zhark vinyl release, heavyweight techno nihilist & labelhead kareem opens up another chapter of advanced technoid noizcore with his 11th full length ep on zhark. after a few years of silence kareem had just reemerged with releases on foundation sonore (fs 01), porto ronco on death of rave or mesmer on zhark digital but is now threatening to inspire more uncompromising percussive hostility. let this just be the beginning: whereas side a emphasis on a very distinguished dance floor groove concept of machine funk embedded in metal layers side b leaves room for a less formatted approach building up tension which is leading to a free firezone of depravity. while methodic differentiations can be discovered on each side, the listener is continously confrontated with haunting sonic extremism.

kareem & tristen with faces 7 , a house infected techno affair

*bastard child of house* is a tribute to chicagos most famous record store. inspired by a video about some native chicago guys working at the store, peter schumann and kareem decided to set words to a tune and create their own version of the story. they asked their buddy dcnt if he could add his interpretation too. and so it happened that words became sound and sound inspired more sound and as we speak everything turns into words again. with both versions the tooliness is very obvious, while the original is organic and warm in terms of tone and sound design, the dcnt version has a more technoish feel and relies heavily on its edgy and straightforward character.

killer industrial techno ep - recommended!

outstanding, industrialesque techno - highly recommended!

after several appearances on the label, kareem comes up trumps again with an excellent first solo single release backed by a wonderful remix from white doyen oskar offermann himself.how low can you go the opener track acts as a discreet, structured, driving and some how dubby house tune that keeps a nice layer of grit beneath the fingernails. its loopy character imparts the feeling of virtually remaining unchanged but it nevertheless staidly evolves within its sonic borders and imparts a sensual quality of all-enveloping warmth. oskar offermanns interpretation of how low can you go introduces skipping melodies that are transmitted as choppy discoesque pulses and rhythmic modulated bass sounds are the preferred form of punctuation. indeed the remix is intended to be a dj tool, but like all of oskar offermanns recent house works, it builds smoothly as though every element was simply waiting in the wings to make its appearance at the proper moment, and – just before it finishes up – sounds like it could go on forever.

vincent valler delivers with this release a timeless classic for now and then..
