after hitting his stride in 2008 with his debut for mobilee one is not enough followed by his second release, sand on the floor, the one-man phenomenon is back for a third round for mobilees 55th release entitled first talk, an enthralling tech-house release that is as boundless as it is stunning. the a-side first talk is a bouncing techy track that constantly moves forward and progresses without sounding the least bit rushed, continuously teasing the listener with build-ups that stop just short of peaking. combining vintage synths and reverb-laced loops, and.id meticulously plays with dynamics and atmospherics with the end result being a release that constantly moves forward without sounding the least bit rushed. b1 ephoria maintains a similar level of compelling restraint, with stuttered house beats and melodic undercurrents that morph and shift until they transform into arpeggiated swells leading the track to its endpoint. on b2 lights on and.id displays his darker, more minimal side, taking advantage of lower frequency ranges and recurrent echoes

one of our favorite berlin based producer hits crack&speed big time for the his first release on the label. great 3 tracker, pretty much funky , electro and minimal at the same time!! ltd backstock

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more

olmeto, a small town in corsica, is infamous as the birthplace of the family vendetta. we chose the name as it has an air of mystery but also a bit of fire. we felt that we wanted a label with us as the only artists free to do what we want, how we wantà this is release number 23. all have been ours, and range across the house spectrum, vocal, minimal, tech and deep and probably a little of each in all. the raw road and madagaskar whilst different, are made from the same mood. a strong rhythm with elements brought in and out, like a good dj, you lock the groove and then begin to play around it. although all tracks are by us, we do bring in artists we like to remix from time to time. the raw road will be remixed by mark broom and nic fanciullli and they will join artist such as loco dice, green velvet and unkle who have both remixed tracks over the course of the label.

after a winter break and a with new focus on original and forward thinking house, boe is back for 2009 with one of the hottest detroit artists to break onto the scene in years. kris wadsworth is a man who truly has his own unique production style. for years the term minimal has been banded about for music with little soul, originality and that essence of dance music, a groove. kris is a guy whose interpretation of minimalistic music oozes all of these qualities and much, much more, stripped down, funked up house that takes the listener back to when house was raw, full of energy and brimming with soul. his production resembles that of an early herbert, crunching and twisting his way though drum samples and polished chords to create a sound that is simple and intoxicating yet difficult to copy. less, it seems, is most definitely more. dig is kris first four-track ep and showcases his sound through four slices of deep, groovy late night house. the first track the depths of is kris sound summed up in just under nine minutes. the first three minutes belong to a long intro that builds and builds through vox snippets, stab samples, synth chords and h-hats that ride the groove. the track breaks down only to kick back in with a chunky snare and trippy pads to whip the listener into a frenzy. macrotones is a wonky late night rhythm synth track that wouldnt sound out of place at fabric at 7am. on the flip, white bread kicks off where the depths of left off, a catchy rhythm with swinging stabs and moody chords. a growling, gut-moving baseline makes the track a real dance floor favourite. the final track on the ep is haunted house a deep houser with a delayed bassline perfect for those late-night moments.

after the succes of the first release mimikri musik sends us another high quality tracks of cours de performance. this killer ep includes awesome rollin minimal tracks and a kickin matt star rmx!

amyl nitrate (commonly known as popper) is a chemical compound. it has a long history of safe medical use in treating angina. its also often inhaled with the goal of enhancing sexual pleasure.inhaling nitrates relaxes smooth muscles all over the body, including the sphincter muscles of the anus and the vagina. listening to the original version, it is easy to understand the reason behind such a title. a dark and obsessive techno-bass in its depths. acid, nervous loops on the surface. sex and sweat everywhere. here and there, two surrealistic, hypnotic melodies breaking the darkness of the bass loop. a mix of sharp and round, deeper sounds. the vinyl version also features 3 great remixes: the amazing electro-minimal rmx by the hacker, the spiritual-dark rmx by rubÚn montesco and the fresh club rmx by produkkt

plastik is a new label for electronic experimental music / minimal music. the records are shrinked very noticeably in plastik and limited to vinyl and only 300 copies! early support comes from the likes of cess (cocoon/rocketsauce), dj koze, jens zimmermann (snork), j³rgen von krebs (monkeys club), daze maxim (hello?repeat), lars sommerfeld (fumakilla/ two faces) and bengreen (mikatronic).

on their introductory minus ep, click box offers a refreshing return to a bygone era of classic instrumentals, full of experimentation and passion generated by that ongoing love affair between man and machine. berlin shades starts out in a jittery minimal fashion but soon dives much deeper as the tough electro bassline expands and contracts dragging the dancer to and fro. the cascading hook and in-your-face sci-fi synth motif add a sense of tongue-in-cheek drama to a dynamic arrangement that incorporates steep inclines, sharp drops and snaking pathways. as the short staccato bass riff gains momentum and the hook comes round for the second time you just know somethings lying in wait and the boys certainly dont disappoint. lost road is anything but a blind alley, kicking off with some low-slung interplay between a two-note bassline and a whiplash snare that dishes out a serious spanking. hi-hats fizz across the audio spectrum, cleverly pitching up and down before a drunken bass sequence ushers in the main section with its sliding, twisted synth distortions primed for surprise and immediate disorientation. once all the elements are in play, the fun really starts with so many objects of interest competing for attention. the arrangement is pulled and pushed to great effect extracting maximum effect from this tough little unit. more electro flavour to the fore as the loose, broken beat intro and robot sounds of some toys make for some slick moves on the dancefloor. the retro synth riffs and dark spiralling pads conjure up images of some early 80s lab full of computer kids in white coats twiddling knobs on huge mainframe monoliths. the bouncing bass and analogue belches make this a must for all retro-tastic electro-boogie fans. the theme continues over into voxer as rising filtered bass tones playout over another trademark click box drum pattern, this time doused in heavy reverb and delay. an array of analogue bleeps, screams and laser beams keep the motor ticking over.

already a mainstay in the scene with admired releases on brother label poker flat, and of course connaisseur, patrick chardronnet returns with a wonderful 2 track ep on audiomatique. a delightfully trippy, post-minimal adventure, ‚piper‘ raises the brow for chardronnet, dropping the big room synths this time in favour of a very organic, low-slung addictive groove. sparse, tricky percussion underpins the headsdown late night vibe, as a drifting ensemble of mystic vocals and haunting horns unfolds over 11 minutes. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply spaced, this reduced-percussive foray explores chardronnet‘s more hypnotic side... a priceless cut of of hybrid house from a modern master. on the b side the driving, textural chimes of ‚dropout‘ ensnare the listener into another beautiful and mysterious world. solid-state, bass-led percussion and crisply-cut percussive fx remain subdued whilst an epic, swirling synth landscape weaves its dreamy tale. suggesting moments of real drama, yet all the while maintaining an addictive, slow burning vibe, its a an amazing journey into this producer‘s remarkable, inimitable sonic world.

2003 techhouse with minimal and electroid influences, made by todd bodine for tom clarks highgrade imprint. remixes come from soopa-fi (sebo k & djama) and gebrueder teichmann.
