step forward dubfire (aka ali shirazinia from grammy winning dj and production duo deep dish) whos already hit top form this summer with some tasty releases on desolat, funkwelle.net and whose thumping >emissions< features on the minus compilation >expansion contraction<. the beauty of this rework is that it doesnt stray far from the original vibe. dubfire pays the track the full respect it deserves, adding contemporary beats, bass and hat patterns, subliminal efx and tweaks that perfectly compliment the eq sweeps and machine gun snare rolls of the original. panikattack (originally released on plus 8 in 1996 as the b side to sickness) gets a more radical overhaul with guido schneider turning in a typically pragmatic version. by excavating and enhancing the gritty funk that lies buried under the feverish textures of the original, he discovers a totally new dimension. combining the plastik elements with his own trademark swing and razor sharp percussion programming, schneider coaxes the track out of the shadows for some serious peak time action as the bassline bounds forward relentlessly occasionally enveloped by stuttering delays, to negotiate its way through the dubbed out breakdown and on to the end

a little less than two and a half years after its conception—and close to 30 singles, one compilation, one mix cd and one sublabel later—berlins mobilee releases its first artist album. naturally, who better to represent the milestone than pan-pot, who so far have delivered five essential singles to mobilee, helping to anchor the ever-shifting sound of one of europes most exciting labels. in just two short years, with 10 singles (for mobilee and einmaleins musik) and lots of remixes, theyve become known far and wide for their distinctive, groovy, and above all ominous sound. pan-o-rama finds the boys stretching that sound in every possible direction: twisting, tearing, and using the shreds to drag a wide swath of techno history into the future (and, just maybe, to drag a few pieces of techno future back into the past). call it minimal if you must, but this aint no clickity-clack shit. you can hear the agonized gurgle of isolationist acid, reminiscent of plastikmans darkest nights. you can hear the percolating urgency of classic bleep techno. tried and true hardware collides with restless digital experimentation as dance musics dna worms its way into twisted new shapes. pan-o-rama is dark, thats for damned sure. eerie vocals that seem to come from within the listeners own head creep across the stereo field. throughout, restrained minor-key melodies conjure 21st century noir, and a relentless low-end rumble seems to suck up all the light around it

if zox was a sculptor, his works would be angled and polished, simple and magically effective. no sound on this record (which is called >more fluff<, which astonishes me) hangs around too long between the acrylic clear beats, the square waves are bellied and cold as vodka from an iceberg, the higher frequencies refreshingly cool as hills in the highlands, and straight lines are the dominating theme by far. this is dance music in itself. the basses live in rich bounteousness which is strictly controlled, though. why boom it when you can bang it? perfect shapes, functional beauty and a refreshing taste will rock you.

pawel, also known for his melancholic and deeply emotional songwriter skills as turner on ladomat and mute, follows his path of minimal post-detroit influenced tracks recently heard on his dial release >ceramics<. having released 3 12inches on dial records as pawel so far, >jujuy&salta< marks a step on new ground, by starting his own label. orphanear is meant to be a open playground for both the pawel and turner releases, as well as for old and new friends, not only in the dance-spectrum. >jujuy< starts of with a slowed down, dark and bouncing synth line, and later on sound as if sähkö had moved to la and invited us all. >salta< turns up the velocity slightly and deliberately evolves into one of the sweetest and hypnotic detroit affine tracks in the recent past! played by dj koze & chloe

nu- trance melodies, micro loops of techno and the more sutil funk. butterfly kiss is even more behaved shamelessly and onírico. as dangerous as effective . the remixes completes the eclecticism of the maxi. yes maurice aymard is the dj, his fans dance in the studio. in shuberry it takes advantage of the hypnosis of the track and it reconstructs for the delight, more acid and dark, playing with the climax. in side b, alejandro vivanco, that it already woke up luciano (cadenza) including a tracks of his in his sci.fi.hi.fi. mix for soma, proposes a vision more experimental for the vinil. rythmical, textures, effects…. the risk is paradojica, there are no lines because he does t need them. the projection of his talent scares us , more closer than far away. you judge
