frecher tcehhouse mit detroit note und john tejada remix

the dust collision of swiss voodoo priestess kate waxs recently unveiled album takes its titular inspiration from switzerlands world-leading large hadron collider, where sub-atomic particles are accelerated into one another, and the subsequent fallout observed for our universal scientific advancement. the first single to be lifted from said album – title track dust collision – is a cornerstone of self-producing autocrat kate waxs personal album philosophy, where humans find new lovers through passing encounters in the night, like particles colliding in the lhc – momentary, exhilarating, predatory, intimate and ecstatic.

matthew burton & kate rathod are the next duo to leave their distinctive mark on the visionquest imprint. delivering a deep and dreamy melodic work out with softly fractured beats and reverberating vocals >the flip side ep< is three wintry cuts of understated house music

12 inch teaser mit dancefloor-orientierten james holden-remixversionen von zwei tracks aus dem in kürze erscheinenden, neuen kate wax album >dust collision<!

killer hypnotic minimal tech house

the first immerse release of 2011 sees the label taking on a fresh approach while retaining the same atmospherics that have made it an essential fixture in the bristol music canon. outboxx are made up of jacob martin and matt lambert, and their sound is rooted in groovy, analogue house music. with an emphasis on jamming, theres a loose, live feel to these tracks that has an instant appeal but drags you deeper with each listen. >kate libby< kicks off on a swung beat and warm pads, before dropping down to p-funk bass and sparse synth flourishes. >berties groove< places jazzy rhodes playing at the front of the mix with a classic drum machine workout ticking away in the background. this is soulful, authentic house music with not a clinical midi pattern in earshot. despite coming from a different angle, the outboxx tracks slip neatly into the immerse legacy thus far, pointing the way for a year filled with more of the spacious, haunting club music the label has become renowned for.

we are very happy to welcome a new outstanding artist on hello?repeat records. kate simko is a woman of many talents, and she works them well. this chicago native continues to be one of the standout dance music artists in the united states, earning the respect of her peers and catapulting her career to international sucsess. with >mind on you<, kate delivers a little teaser to her forthcoming and highly anticipated solo album on h?r. inclusive tevo howard & daze maxim remixes

the berlin-based techno and house producer and dj oliver koletzki has fully committed himself to his roots for this album. they can be traced back to pop music of the 80ies and 90ies, while his productions still manage to transport the fresh energy of today’s electronic music productions. großstadtmärchen is a perfect example for a producers album: oliver koletzki has created a musically compact long player while working together with many different singers. both established artists like mieze katz from the german electro-pop outfit mia., the hot german pop-rock-singer axel bosse, critically acclaimed indie band kate mosh as well as newcomers such as fran, pyur and juli holz have contributed to the album. the result are ten songs that easily fluctuate between catchy pop tracks, modern house grooves and 80ies synthesizer pop yet still maintaining a very own koletzkieske sound dynamic. großstadtmärchen, which translates as the tale of the big city starts off with this is leisure. famous pop singer mieze katz has put down her sexy voice on a guitar-based song pattern that functions as an ideal introduction into the craziness of the big city tales. after hearing this, the listener is directly fully drawn into this world when hearing juli holzs softly whispering voice singing about the dilemmas of love in the big city on zuckerwatte (single release date: 7.9.09). this is a very fine electro-pop tune. coming up next oliver koletzki and axel bosse board an underground train that takes them around the berlin u-bahn system and back.

moscow based multi-talent impish presents the ÒhushÓ lp, his latest album project that has been released strictly on vinyl and is now available on cd as well.
working through labels such as hospital records, c.i.a., program and his own fast rising occulti music imprint impish is quickly establishing a name for himself in the global drum & bass scene. in a world that consumes more and more music in a superficial way impish manages to take a halt on the hush lp with timeless songwriting, arrangement and production inspired by live music and drum work.
from effortlessly rolling tracks such as ÒcanÕt feelÓ and ÒshadowsÓ towards more introspective vibes on Òchanging coloursÓ and the lpÕs title track a common thread runs clearly throughout the album: the aim for perfection, true craftmanship and a drive to combine to high-quality beats and breaks with musical elements. uk based female singer kate wild, julia marks and irish drum & bass producer zero t feature on the album for vocal appearances and remix work.
