4 track tribal techno

obscure dutch private pressing from 1977. laid-back instrumental psychedelic / progressive sounds with jazz-funk-groove and abstract / experimental / latin-indigenous touches. stoned homemade atmosphere with treated / distorted electric & acoustic guitars, flute, electric piano, primitive drum machines / homemade electronics. much in the vein of the experimental-underground scene of france & germany during the early 70s but actually recorded and released in holland.

all original organic groove trip hop coming out of cincinnati ohio. analog recorded, hard hitting vintage funk drums, thick grooving bass lines, meticulous guitar riffs, soulful electric piano’s & hammond organs create an original soundscape of emotion & groove. this music (we feel) is in a class of it’s own. we are not trying to duplicate a sound of yesteryear but explore a distinct natural sound of our own.
in 2016 grimez brought some of cincinnati’s best musicians in the studio to record raw analog recordings using vintage gear. guitarist brad myers currently has a phenomenal jazz cd out “prime numbers.” organ/keyboard prodigy, j-skillz, is a frequent session musician for hi-tek. tim hensley is the drummer for the cliftones, a reggae band that is touring and receiving well deserved national notoriety. the remaining musicians all have degrees in jazz and perform in many shows throughout cincinnati.

re-release! you thought it was a joke when we released a record named after colognes local beer, kÖlsch. but you were wrong. rune riley kölsch is not a joke. he is a tall danish guy and its quite likely that you have already heard some of his tracks out in a club. maybe something from his amazing ink & needle series on his own tattoo imprint or the track he is most known for: calabria feat. crystal waters. after his impressive debut on kompakt extra >loreley/rheingold< he is back with another killer double header. >opa< is one of the most unusual but yet amazingly effective techno tracks we have heard this year. its steroid-driven funk with a heavily mental edge and powerful enough to lift the roof of any club. >der alte< pays tribute to germanys long running tv series the old man with a rather juvenile sounding piano anthem that sits comfortably between balearic disco and detroit techno. prost, mr kölsch!

we are happy to welcome a new artist into our family. young jose pouj is one of the new emerging talents from the spanish techno scene. his speciality is hard edged techno, but with a touch of class. a sound carefully crafted and skilfully developed. his blood poisoning ep starts with waken, a scientific techno number with a solid rhythm arrangement, fat basses and sharp synth workout, a funky electronic steamroller designed for body and mind. the b side opens with sepsis, a harder approach to modern techno with a strong drum programming, sweeping drones, an arpeggiated bassline and a bunch of bleeps that appear and disappear throughout the arrangement. an anabolic track that slowly goes to a mental break and turns once more to madness. the release closes with organic return, where the main course is made up of carefully programmed synthetic drums, till an emb-flavoured bassline comes into the track, reminding us of the good old pulsinger style. summing up, this is the work of a great young producer that injects new blood into our label. watch out for forthcoming adventures of this new talent.

the journey starts with epic pads and deep-space melodic strings that flow into rolling drums on the intro, building up into the massive anthem . the drop delivers big, bad, wobbling basslines & retro analog synth stabs that fire over heavy assaulting beats, making this an absolute dancefloor smasher destroying everything in its path and taking no prisoners!
the flip side jumps off with a futuristic atmosphere of high-pitched strings, pads and funky percussion hits while hinting a classic hip-hop sample. wide-open, ravey synths creep up and build into the drop that hits with pounding drums and filthy punishing basslines moving in perfect balance to break free just long enough for the vocal to remind party people in the house what time it is. guaranteed to get the crowd going mental - this one is a banger!

get ready for some heavy bass infusion. those who witnessed the infamous audio injection vs. drumcell collaborative 6 hour set at berghain in may could sense the raw and direct path of the uncompromising heavy bass-lines they walk on, yet they possess a subtle sensitivity making this audio experience a physical and mental journey at the same time. with his first ep on electric deluxe, audio injection captured this dark and raw spirit in a perfect way. his tracks move effortlessly from percussive high hat funk to heavy bass-line assault, call it techno coolness. all tracks are dancefloor focused, but contain a healthy dose of weirdness, giving the them longevity while still being functional, spot-on material for the floors typical for electric deluxe releases. the vinyl version of >operation a< is being accompanied by a none other than speedy j himself. the remix has his signature flow, shifting, rich soundscapes layered over a forward bassline sketch. music for minds in dark places.

on side b, lucretio s ôwhere youö is a superb synthesis of his detroit techno and uk-garage influences. relentless effective old-school drums run with a female vocal sample. soulful chords sing along balistic claps. an evocative string line introduces a touch of blues. a sweet sunset on the groove, a smooth weapon.
last but not least, a touch of class by the analogue cops: ôslowlyö. it s a down beat fusion of jazz and deep house. a monumental bass drum bursts a celestial big band interlude. a sexy 303 acid line, an elegant high-hat, a snappy snare. just few things but on the right place. a delight for your mind and for your body.
