what if time does not matter? welcome to the world of jonas saalbach, where nothing is solid but the rhythm of the base. we are drifting between synthwaves and nested melancholic melodies, between hazy vibes and spare used dark vocals and we call it >nika yumi<. this one is a brilliant number from a producer-youngstar, which strandet in berlin with a big smile and many dreams in the backage. so here we go with his first release on einmusika recordings. >next< - the second track on the ep, is an exotic odyssey in times of vocal- and deephouse, because this number is technoid, minimal and unimagined. >cave< can flip a good party into a great one in the space of six glorious minutes. the bendy baseline is catching everybody and the track is full of cosmic synths. and after this trip you surely need a bottle of water and a melody which picks up this feeling underlined with dreamy synth motifs and a kind of woozy bleeps. okay. so where we are? what time it is? whatever you can repeat everything.

over the last year i have traveled to canada frequently for gigs and got to know the small but healthy electronic music scene there. cities like montreal, vancouver and toronto have brought forth many established artists over the past few years, such as egyptrixx, azari & iii, basic soul unit, jacques greene, lunice and sixtoo, but 2012 has seen a new breed of no-nonsense house and techno producers come up via labels like turbo recordings and naked lunch. this *dovercourt ep* features three very talented producers: kevin mcphee, nautiluss and gingy. their tracks are a dedication to their hometown of toronto. being removed from the house/techno epicentres of berlin and london, these three are much less interested in what is fashionable or trendy, and more in bringing us straight to the point, no frails jacking house music. i have been playing these three extensively in my dj sets, and i hope you will too. so out to toronto, this one is for you! enjoy. martyn
