marco zenker, the wonderboy from munich is up and looking for freedom again with his second record on ilian tape. invisible shadows was discovered by ourselves on the last ilian tape warehouse party back last year. when we heard it the first time on a big system - even marco himself - we were pretty surprised. its building up slowly and leads into a very open space - the perfect track to give the night another direction. remain silent after you heard that side and open your ears for the b side that sends us into a different sphere. here we go down. you almost can call that cut a meditation hymne - it has the same vibe as osho ashram s back then hosted by f. fuhlert. finally we have a tripping remix from one of the hottest dutch guys at the moment - conforce. known for his releases on meanwhile, delsin or rush hour he shows once again why holland is thechicago of europe. its just free spirited, soulful and openminded. qualities we are missing here more or less in bavaria. so we are trying to open up and change things. the time will come. kiss

the eighth edition of cocoon recordings 10inch series leads us to berlin, where martin müller and daniel stroeter are working under the alias youandme as djs, label managers and producers for labels such as rotary cocktail, 2020vision and compost for more than 15 years now. >raw” is the ultimate soundtrack for the very special acoustic comprehension both musicians have in setting an absolute imperative on the dancefloor by constantly rising noise levels, but without ever neglecting the funk. living in berlin for only a short time, 23-year-old ilario alicante from tuscany / italy has made his appearance by releasing records for cécille, break new soil or sci+tec over the last three years, especially >vacaciones en chile< was an essential part of the club summer 2008. >balance< purifies modern house music down to its essences, using a 2-minute break with a central organ theme to keep your synapses tightly clenched before a massive bass kick unlocks the tension. just a perfect acoustic devotement to the balance of the raw.

head-turning singles >tuff enough< and >take em up< from marcus >shit robot< lambkins fantastic debut, from the cradle to the rave, get reinvented by two of the most talented dj/producers working in electronic music. on the a-side is germanys michael mayers epically inventive take on >tuff enuff<. less muscular than lambkins original, the remix softens things up by placing supple keys under the hardened exterior. the climax is an otherworldly listening experience that literally builds to take off. on the flip, john talabots remix of >take em up< starts like a laidback house party that builds just enough energy when its relocated under disco lights. the haunting opening — a swirling, ghostly blend of elliptical vocals and handclaps — leads to a sonic journey that is as smooth as it is wholly entrancing. this fantastic coupling of tracks is being produced in very short supply, so snap them up quickly!

eminor 29 again comes up with massive minimalist techno.
coeter one & dubit - granatapfel - bring together a german and an italian sound designer and you get an experimental mixture of drums and carefully quantized grooves. the minimalistic framework of >granatapfel< is teamed up by vocoded vocals and an unique break which leads majesically from confusion to musical order.
scalameriya - ridley - by the serbian techno-guru scalameriya has a fast and pushy bass-dominated rhythm, an almost factory-like precision and a compulsive eye on the floor.
granatapfel - re:axis s going down remix - the remix of portuguese duo re:axis is less stripped-down than the original. with its thrilling melody, re:axis manage to give the track an epic touch.

>corky< is the third ep from brand brauer frick on tartelet records and features a remix from tartelets own james braun. music has always been the defining core of tartelet records. this may seem like an obvious statement, but that was the very reason why it hit us like a ton of bricks when we receivedthe first demo from paul frick and his new band around two years ago you might say that the brandt brauer frick sound touched on a vibration that had been lurking in our musical subconscious. we ll resist the temptation to wax lengthy or lyrical about >corky< instead, we suggest you have a listen and let yourself be seduced by its panoramic echoes and pumping bass drum. hop aboard an odyssey that leads brandt brauer frick through the technoid city of detroit. its a fine ride indeed.

nice price deal !!! dj panik and yox do the honours again on frances number one drum and bass label. with catchy synth leads and scatty beats these tracks have been damaging dancefloors around europe for the last few months.

jenifa mayanja, respected new york dj, producer and owner of bu-mako recordings, steps into the altered moods collective for an exciting two cut vinyl release, >desire more<. the first side slides into a subtle groove with voices and synthy keys over a beat itching to get you on to the dance floor. then a variety of warm melodies join in, bubbling and be-bopping onto the main cut, a collusion of claps, beats and riffs. jenifa comes back and leads us to a saucy clarinet that could be rehearsing in the next room, unaware of our presence. yet it echoes the feel of the piece, dancing away from and back to the rhythm.

nice price deal !!! for their fifth release todd bodine (highgrade, treibstoff, mothership) joined the cologne based label klangfarbe schallplatten and created a high-quality ep, which is hard to find today. duplexer (a1) initially allocates with bongos in space, to furthermore stabilize itself with more bass, percussion and volume, which leads into a durable, massive flow that s willing to persist bigger club duties as well. alpha (b2) is structurized akin to duplexer, but celebrates the true force, the true might of minimal by the use of consistently repetition of beat- and sound patterns as also psychedelic acid-parts in good, old plastikman tradition. morning breeze on b2 finally starts warmer and more housy, in a deep and easy lean-back manner, to distinctly cool down after a while and to approach the previous tracks. after all, the from nowhere to somewhere ep constitutes an extremely coherent ep, where it s obvious, that all three tracks mate together - as they are

the >captain deutschland serie continues on the vinyl only format and is limited to 300 copies, all hand numbered.
dandy jack is well known for his multiple collaborations. its now about time to lay them down on wax.
the second chapter is a honest, loud and direct ode to the joy of queen bass. if you are searching for deep house and abstract minimal you should better pass your way.
dandy jack teams up with geneva fellows lad and quenum on the a side for what could be described as a tremendous and heavy ride into the catacombs of techno. sonja moonear has a slightly happier and smoother answer on the b side and challenges us with a long and percussive intro that leads into a melancholic twist. quenum and lad arent new to the electronic music and have been active over a decade. they have already been working together for labels like num and thema. sonja is dandys partner in crime as junction sm and ruta5s half head.

ikonika & optimum are proud to introduce their highly anticipated new venture: hum + buzz records. this double a side debut release is right at the centre of the current uk crossover, post-genre sound. first up, >aqueous cream< explores a different sound to the one ikonika delivered on her recent hyperdub debut album. a dancefloor ready track with smooth sub bass, staccato piano chords, trademark emotive synth-leads, underpinned by tough kicks, sizzling hi-hats and ricochet snares. on side aa, >ampersand< marks ikonika & optimums first official collaboration. layers of synth melodies float above a steady four/four pulse and unpredictable claps. an angular, broken, melodic march at a house tempo.

the loin brothers are long john saliva and dj silvio, two dashing farmers raised on strobe lighting, fuzz guitars and pork spare ribs. this is their second original single and follows on from heavy helmet, the mock & toof remixed single that caught the attention of aeroplane, ewan pearson and ivan smagghe with ivan featuring it on his live at robert johnson mix compilation. on this outing the loins have pruned, mowed, fertilized and watered their way through the studio to create the garden of vargulf. the original takes off with a thumping bass guitar, orchestral string leads, the odd desert wolf howl and a real guitar soloà with a guitar no less.

the second release on red sonja is a remix by the american luke hess, with detroit techno beats and dub touches that are characteristic for this artist, this all leads to an atmospherical track that breaks in a hysterical musicality above everything else. vasco ispirian makes a remix with a touch of house, techno and dub, an interpretation rich in sounds that culminate in crescendo. this track has a dynamic pace, without doubt, to dance.

after his last storming ep on figure spc, young italian talent roberto bosco comes to figure with a new four track masterclass in rumbling, earth-shaking and proudly contemporary techno. berlin music city features the mysterious vocals of coppa, who leads us into the break of this heavyweight track with his deep dub-step flavoured drawl. funky, ecstatic and characterised by bosco s raw and crisp sound.more bass pressure awaits with sci-fi . a tough, sub-diven punch greets us from the outset, allowing a freaky array of static fx, tripping synths and meandering chimes to lead us on through a strange, imaginary city. suitably tough, crunching and close to the bone, no time combines bosco s clear love of tectonic beats with uplifting, dj-friendly arrangements. a devilish hook emerges from the smoke and steam, leading to a dramatic conclusionà. finally the industrial clatter of >after berlin< stirs up a rich dub-techno display in this surging, lively and essential addition to the package!

this 12inch release comes with two functional tracks which enables the electronic music scene in excitement. the a-site kicks off with >fesselfete<: the designers of the track - j÷rg dinsher and julia husler- implemented a rhythmically complex track with this release. detached from insipid song-structures, the galloping beat leads through the eight minutes of the track. shifting hi-hats and smacking beat-elements, snuggle around the groove and influence in a spectacular style the sensed speed. the extra bass- pressure catapulting the - full of character - >fesselfete< directly to the floors of the clubs, where it scores with memorable features and powerful impression. the second a-site comes with danny d.s enthralling >lederpeter<. danny doesnt dilly-dally and starts >lederpeter< with a bulletproof beat. an atmospheric mood and a deep bassline creat the perfect balance between crisp and soft. he succeeds in creating a wonderful and intelligent transparency. the spell of monotonous passages gets an individual boost from a fantastic kick.

earwax is very proud to present this huge 12 inch from >purple trinity< producer gemmy, guaranteed to cause serious sonic pressure on a dancefloor near you! >maroon chant< is possibly one of gemmys biggest tunes yet, a carefully crafted dancefloor monster brim with catchy purple melodic synths and heavy weight bass. the intro leads in with a looped tribal chant as the pattern is sucked into rolling snapping percussion before the squelching, ever-evolving bassline drops. the track build and flows effortlessly maintaining high energy levels throughout. big tune. flip then for >last 3 digits< ? the title being a reference to pirate radio shows where the host refers to callers by the last 3 digits of their phone number. >let me have 1 caller for the rewind<. heavy hitting rave stabs punch out the catchy melody here before the track switches up into a grimey beat and even grimier bassline. quality rave music.
dj support from: joker, roska, pinch, mary anne hobbs, guido, ginz, reso, baobinga, appleblim, peverelist, rsd, plastician dusk & blackdown, and many more..

nice price deal !!! this is dasein, the opening potion of milyoos (aka tommy wilson) debut ep and the second release on subeenas new opit records. dasein attempts to grapple with existence, temporality and substance and what could be a more perfect description of these warped sonics- perpetual motion purely of the moment. multitude makes you feel like a tourist at an off-world bazaar, a strange landscape with a slug-bass bubble undercarriage and inquisitive wide-eyed synths. fayoh leads in with in a harold budd doing house piano before being pounced on by clipped vocal tics and odd blocks of cubist sound all underpinned by a funky beat and quite frankly its gorgeous. if there is a strand of coherence across the ep then its an almost exotic one- these are curiosities, virtual ships in bottles, they are not narrative pieces even if they are in constant motion. only two releases in and opit records is clearly going to avoid easy categorisation- milyoos debut is something to get mighty excited about and i await further transmissions with baited breath...

1st on side a: big disco boogie re-edited, kicks off with guitar riff building up with female vocal, filtered breaks then comes into main vocal parts.

crazy boogie disco and gospler tracks prepared by jason lev... where he leads me, calling you and i found me a girl are total masterpieces - this is what people mean when they ask for funky stuff!!

12inch debut for whatchawannado, a new label featuring edits by djs who have graced the decks at las infamous do over party. stones throws left field psych man james pants leads things off with an excellent edit of jefferson airplanes white rabbit entitled through the rabbit hole. for the more dancefloor oriented, check the flip where (thee) mike b takes charanga 76s famous spanish version of aint no stopping us now and extends those banging disco breaks for days before finally letting it slip into the vocals.

okains dj career kicked off back in 1999, when at the tender age of 15 he began spinning regularly at parties. influenced by french legend laurent garnier, it wasnt long before he was offered his first residency. since then, he has gone on to play at the hottest of paris nightspots, including the rex club and social club. through playing at the now famous dimuschi parties he teamed up with paul ritch. after some time studying in sound engineering, the pair released their first ep under their handycraft alias on kickboxer. since the success of that >le bal masque< ep, okain has gone on to release on labels including robotronic, bpitch control, four twenty, tsuba, quartz and of course jetaime, and has been fully blooded in the art of touring. gigs have flooded in, and his travels have seen play many of europe s finest nightspots. his >blackrock< ep on quartz earlier this year found fantastic success with so many of you, and today our good friend is back, with the awesome >acrobat<.
the original sees okain take the warm, techy path. a lo-slung groove leads us into the melodic strings. matched with sharp efx, strong beats and a demonic laugh, this is a sure fire winner. first on remix duty is label head alex dee. toughening proceedings, alex creates a driving, somewhat tribal work out. relentless beats work brilliantly with the now chopped vocal, to create dramatic tension that builds to a crescendo in the break. a fantastic mix. a great package already, and one that just got even better with the edition of daniel mehlharts incredible rework. the frankfurt producer is hot property right now, and this mix showcases perfectly just why. deep, warm and moody, with huge helpings of classic detroit touches, the originals strings are accompanied by weighty synth stabs, to stunning effect. essential.

a unique opener for haknams first vinyl release by emad parandian.
the tripping a-side >marangai waikawa< leads into archaic vaults - a dark spatial pattern of droning synth atmospheres all maintained at a decisively bass oriented centre. a ceremonial dance, refined with self-played kanjira percussion. mysterious choirs invoke a rainfall of tribal metal percussion.
out of the dust of >marangai waikawa< grows >scud< on the flip. part two of a thrilling journey, pulsing straight forward with pushing noise elements, astute shuffly percussion combined with scattered vocals >changes are gradual<.

anja schneider, laurent garnier, afekt, sebo k, martinez, seth troxler, ryan crosson, lee curtiss, dj yellow, slam, 2000andone, luca bachetti, raresh, okain, dj w!ld, agnes, marc romboy, ben watt, sascha funke, jimpster,.. djulzs bass culture records has undoubtedly been one of the major highlights of 2009. in just four releases the french label has set the bar for all others in terms of quality and 2010 is looking to be a groundbreaking year for them. first release of 10 sees the label head keeping it french with the ivory machine e.p. from arnaud le texier. ..todays e.p. opens with the title track. deep and hypnotic, its long atmospheric intro leads us to its key stabs, and the tougher kick drum. each sound is beautifully layered to create the complete opener…

after the first une release (monoblock/treplec) supported by many djs like mathias kaden, chris carrier, troy pierce, laurent garnier, seth troxler, franco cinelli we are coming again with une002 by zap - >mi amigo< + inxec remix.
zap immerses us squarely in its parallel dimension, a place where stuck-up sounds and elegant percussions coexist with a martian sub bass. curious scene to expose a slightly conventional instrument in a dancing floor, the bandoneon, which chopped with a sharp knife and served with mastery, manages to transform the track into a dizzy trip and full of surrealism.
inxec achieves to transmit the feeling of no gravity based on orbiting elements, volatile basses and open field sounds. as it goes it leads us through a space trip, capable of opening a gap in any type of session, which suddenly can turn into a space odissey with dyes of psychological thriller.
support: konrad black, richie hawtin, josh wink, cesare vs disorder, adam beyer, matt star, jens zimmermann, dan drastic, alex kid, brothers vibes, pheek, alland byallo, pablo roman (bar 25), sebastian wilck (watergate), marcus (weekend), kane roth, luciano esse, jeremy p. cauldfield...

another outstanding deep house release from the naked camp with brilliant remixes from andi caldwell, lance desardi and artist/production team fenomenon. their mix actually leads off as a1 and deservedly so. a slick broken beat excursion that uses the full vocal by ernesto and lifts the track to another musical dimension. caldwell and desardi opt for not using the vocal and creating two pumping dubs that fit the naked mood beautifully. desardi turns out a hot deep tech electronic mix that fans of francois k should check out!

this is a long awaited release on theomatic from a russian-born (now czech-based) house-quartet d-pulse. this definitely should have happened before as all d-pulse members and theomatic’s commander andrei zakharov (an-2) are fellow-townsmen and have known each over many years. d-pulse are known for their expressive live performances (guitar, bass and keys), everything you hear they play live and their unique vibe can shake any audience, be it hip moscow cuties or shy hick-town chicks. the band’s hectic schedule has put this ep on hold for several months, but at last guys managed to organize themselves and lay final touches to the production. the a-side is a mellow, spaced-out disco jam called ‘prekrasna’ - the russian for ‘beautiful’, especially when referred to ladies. the dancefloor-aimed ‘moments’ on the flip side starts off with hypnotic, dubbed-out guitar and atmospheric synths laid over fat house beat. it gradually leads to the breakdown followed by guitar driven blast-off and takes you to the orbital heights from wherever you are.

big with: ben klock, brendon moeller, alan fitzpatrick, pär grindvik, chris liebing, anja schneider, orde meikle, deetron, a. mochi, adam beyer, samuel l session, joris voorn,.. the respected italian producer roberto bosco pushes the blurry boundaries of club techno with this edgy, agile and highly functional 4-tracker on figure spc. letting the games begin straight away with one, a bass-loaded pumping groove leads the action as we step into a cavernous hall resonating with classic techno hypnotism. careful arrangement tweaks, jacking, sharp percussion and knee-trembling sub-frequencies are all present in this well-defined peak time treat for the floor. the twisting, freaking opening bars of circle dub quickly evolve into a strange but beautiful beast, utilising boscos trademark solid drum array, but also a drifting, dubbed out scattering of synth lines, taking the focus from our heads to our hearts. super-pumped and primed for warehous sessions everywhere, the title of the b1 track club sums it up perfectly

just like the excellent joshua series this is jay-js take on rnb meets house edit: choppy, dubbed out intro that leads into a killer vocal duet by rising rnb act koffee brown. b-side features a rousing gospel house track with heartfelt vocals and big chorus.

supported by laurent garnier, ben watt, dj yellow, shur i kan, nils nurnberg, florian meindl, mark knight, axwell!!! looking through my harddrive i just realized that this track is more than 2 years old ... shame on us!!! a few people were lucky enough to got it sent back then and the feedback was already exciting! the original version is a pure deephouse anthem drenched with pure soul! starting off with a moody and dark filtered string it leads into a pumpin deephouse groove ready to climax into a beautiful rhodes chord progression and that lovely m.u.s.i.c. vocal. its a perfect blend between deephouse and soul - pretty rare these days and set to become a future classic!! fred everythings mix is slightly more on the disco tip, tight drums and arrangement and a perfect addition to this package. finally we have another colab between the 2 label heads - called electric girl. its a sweet little disco midtempo groover with the typical trademarks of those 2 guys! enjoy this beautiful release - many people have been asking for this for quite a while!!

with this new ep tom clark makes an impressive return to the highgrade release program. following a collaboration with marcus schatz and most recently with benno blome, he now comes back as a solo artist. after only a few beats, you’ll be sure to recognise his signature sound. tom needs surprisingly few elements to build a unique atmosphere and his matchless grooves. on the title track “scorpio“ we find a deep, rolling bassline and a slightly orientally influenced vocal, combined with the typically unique clarkish synth leads, and we’re ready to go. it’s a track that continually keeps the excitement moving while never letting the cat out of the bag, and more than deserves the a-side. then we come to “albino“, also featuring sparkling synths and rolling drums that create an impression of fluidity and an unhurried beginnings, but we also end up in a waterfall… who would have known!? in conclusion comes “sand flea“, as lively as a box of fleas, but not nearly as aggrivating! mister clark is again at his best, with a love for detail, an innate sence for strange sounds and an a significant quantity of leisurely energy, this tune also really hits the mark. this is not the work of a newbie who produces an aggressive sound to prove his talents. the result is the feature of this ep: seldom has an understatement sounded so fresh. + digital-only bonus track “12 notes“!

all right, all right new vinyl straight from the streets of chicago through team synapsis. synapsis003 is arriving with some gems that brings unique flavor via four chicago producers. timeless chicago ep ranges from acid to deep featuring: hakim murphy, one half of team synapsis, leads off side a with an acid jam called ôdem shits shinobi.ö inspired by the anime show naruto, the track continues to move and develop like the character. this subtle chicago style track features old school yamaha drums with some sweet oscillating synths equaling the acid sound. house and techno heads will enjoy this tune. g. marcell is up next with ôyeah dat tu.ö jacking chicago house track period

rebel scum is very excited about this latest release. these belgium artists serve up 3 of the finest tracks in a rebelscum style! once again rebelscum leads where others try to follow!

two shortstories of electronic suspense, deep and hypnotizing. eavesdropper leads you through the dark with a firm hand.

the latest gigolo release is one for the summer! aptly titled hot it comes courtesy of ivano coppola and christian prommer, the former being one of italia s most respected dj s and the latter being, amongst other things, one of the main collaborators for hells critically acclaimed album teufelswerk. taking a sample from willie ninjas classic record hot and building a track around the chords and the vocal leads us to our starting point ivano coppola plastic mix!
ivano coppola has been the resident dj at milan s plastic club since 1992, so it is fair to say that he knows what works on a dance floor, or, to use a popular phrase, what is hot and what is not. it is with this historical knowledge that we find the genesis of our track. i found it necessary to go back in the past, to start producing once again in a 90 style - using samples. the next step was to come back into the future and reach out to christian prommer, highly respected by many including ivan i consider (christian prommer) one of the best producers of the moment! he loved the idea, the remix was huge, and so we decided to co-produce the record. simple!!!
but, for christian this was more then a remix, hence the co-production credit! i liked the idea of translating an early 90 s house-music-sample in to a sample-style-percussive-techno-tune. lots of live played drums and percussion in this one, of course. i only later learned that the sample we used is from one of my house music heroes, maws louie vega. naturally the record found its way into the hands of gigolo in the best way possible, and in the tradition of such a great record label – i played it at the gigolo night in munich and hell came to me dancing and took the tune into his heart.

new york’s talented cielo resident, ibizian willie graff joins forces with fellow ibizian house activist guiseppe tuccillo in this late-night jam. after numerous quality release on labels like drumpoet community, liebe*detail or jimpster’s freerange the ibizian combo stikes back on circus company. this 3 tracker is quite complete. on a side youll get some >snerata< for your picktime with a housy flavor. power is inside : feel the bass, feel the keys… the b side leads us to some deeper vibes. rucula is a delicious house track to play on build up time. warm athmosphere, five star deep house… then the ep close down with >do it<. here we are still in the deep but in a more tooly direction. perfect one to play. ladys and gentleman, come on and dive into willie graff & tuccillo fantastic flow !!!

the follow up to the successful epic disco vol.1 is the strongest ultracity ep ever. utopia is a complete ep that stretches from up-tempo italo to old school piano house and ends with the heavenly epic matterhorn break. if you like warm deep pads, melodic leads and epic arpeggios that explode in orgasmic breaks this is the record for you!

phantasma volume 2 by dinky, matthew styles and pier bucci is out now. this lovingly designed record is produced by three artists we really like and and it is just grea they decided to work with us again. matthew is damn sure one of our favourite producers and pier s skills are nothing short of his. on the last release we made with them, they d worked together as oblique strategies on balld inc. for phantasma volume 2 pier wrote a track on his own, highlighting the noble beats he is known for and expanding the explicit cadenced patterns with a chord phrase that leads the structure to perfection. dinky whose work was released on such labels as cocoon, traum, vakant and of course on her own imprint horizontal composed the other side together with matthew and you can sense their familiarity at once. the two arranged >choises< carefully, sleek and free of any kind of hubris. well, this attitude is hart to find these days and their versed piece may calm your stressed out ears both in the club and at home

here it is the first official ost on permanent vacation: gutterballs. gutterballs, by ryan nicholson, is a groovy, sleazy and pretty dang gory grindhouse revival slasher in the vein of the great 80 s horrorfilms. the film takes place during a midnight disco bowl-a-rama at a popular bowling alley, which leads directly to the great soundtrack by gianni rossi, who composed a mix between classic, goblin-esque, synthie flavoured, horror-movie soundscapes and uplifting italo pop/rock.

are you drowning in a sea of organs, flutes, and spanish chants on top of 90s house loops? we have the cure for you here at mothership. >just a spoonfulö is the lead single from voodeuxs new full length album called >the paranormal.< the track can best be described as techno you would play at a submarine pajama party. its playful, groovy and somewhat reminiscent of early steve bug. on the flip, >deadened motel< is a rare mix of congo vibey house beats with searing techno leads that shoot up out of the track in the 2nd half. it has been getting mucho love from radioslave, ryan elliot, and konrad black which should give you a clue as to the quality of this material. look for the full voodeux album to drop early june. and dont miss their worldwide live debut in detroit on friday, may 22!>just a spoonful< is also featured on claude vonstrokes new fabric 46 mix compilation out this may.

melbourne based junji masayama swerves his debut bearfunk release flying in from leftfield in the guise of his green circle ep. its a fine four tracker for which the adjective eclectic was surely made. smatterings of disco sensibilities, bleepy house, deep groove & squelching synths. green circle leads the pack with all its underground rhythms and chunky synths. monotone radio is a drum led wonk soundscape whilst sponge feet is one for the more uptempo alternative disco floors. oyster rounds things off with more eclectic beats and disco firefly darting keys. one for the varied tapestry that is bearfunk.

following up his well-received works for statik entertainment, dublins leonid proudly lands at sistrum with three new tracks, crafted in his signature style of mature, classic depth. on the first track >sadim< a gorgeous bassline leads the way into gentle percussion and warm strings, as slightly acidic synth stabs take you back to the simpler days of dance. honest, unpretentious and deep. classic vibrations abound on the following cut >potsandpans<. the bassline sets the tone as sonic layers slowly build into a timeless groove that could easily go on forever. a beauty, by any standard. the ep closes with >shortwave<, a low-slung, shuffling groove, >shortwave< bumps along with the help of a round analog bassline and sharp claps, as shimmering chords swirl hypnotically. this one is destined to define many a late-night dancefloor moment
